lol, from "Hall is traded in a 3 way deal" to "oh, by the way, Rantanen is going to Carolina" in two minutes. Bonkers.

Better than losing him for nothing. Clearly they aren’t close on a contract

Rantanen wanted 15M from Colorado. They get a cost controlled player for this and next year.

Rantanen and Aho are likely good buddies too

IMO, Rantanen is a good player, but MacKinnon makes him look a lot better. No way I am giving him $12-14M. Trade him, use the money on 2 players, and slot someone else beside MacKinnon

giving up Necas is also incredibly risky for the Canes. Crazy stuff.

Avs didn't want break the Mackinnon cap for Rantanen and Rantanen knew he could get more money on the market.
