Mikko To Dallas

[KillerKat]

We`ve gone from contenders to a stepping stone for players to use to go somewhere else.

Can't fault the front office for trying - we weren't going to keep Necas past this year anyway. If anything, better for it to happen now than give the bum 13 mill over 8 years for him to be a cone out there

The trying is nice but this is two straight failures.

Like hell you cant! Shouldve gotten a ball park figure from him before making the trade. 

Sure, and he could say 1 thing (I'll sign for you for 13 mill AAV for 7 years) and then get here and say something different (I want 15 mill AAV for 8 years). Seems like Rantonen and his agent aren't the most trustworthy dues

They offered more money than he agreed to in Dallas, this feels like misplaced blame tbh

The Guentzel failure is much, much worse than this IMO. Guentzel wanted to seemingly be here and our front office tried to play hardball and it blew up in their face. Rantanen just does not want to play here unless we give him more than apparently any other team needs to

Also the Canes allowed Mikko to seek an extension with another team.  Colorado did not allow him to do that.

It sounds like it’s just going to be younger players. If that’s the case I want all of them. Anything less than Stankoven, Bourque, and Bichsel would be unacceptable.

[PleaseCutStewart]

Sounds like it's going to be Stankoven and 2 future firsts from what I've seen on Reddit. Absolutely terrible return, but unfortunately we didn't have a choice

[MillionDollarCam]

So seeing Stankoven and two first round picks… huge meh.

[MillionDollarCam]

Two late firsts and a 5’8” center.

This team just got set back years…. Necas could have pulled that at the deadline next year with an extension.

It’ll take two years for this team to be a contender again and that’s IF Nadeau and Nikishin come as advertised.

Yeah, Stankoven is pretty awful and I think Dallas doesn't have a 1st this year, so it will be future firsts. Awful value - I'd rather just keep Rantanen here the rest of the year, tie him to the goal posts, and have everyone on our team take turns spearing him

Nothing final yet, but...

[MillionDollarCam]

They better flip those first round picks for a player. One thing we don’t need is more prospects right now.

Deal is almost done. Hopefully we get more than just Stankoven.

In the $12M range.

Stankoven and two first round picks.
