Rantanen is shitty wingman player, top 50 player, awful defensively, slow, bad goal scorer, cannot pass, tackle and also not even quarter of skill of Necas. So its a good trade for avs.
I look at this trade in two ways are the Avs a better team this year after the trade? No. Are the Avs a better team next year? Yes. Mikko was going to walk at the end of the year, could they have done a sign and trade or picked up a 3rd rounder trading him to a team prior to July 1st to work out a new contract possibly. They were never going to get a player like Necas and his contract for next season though.
The elephant in the room is the Avs may be in an identical situation a year from now with Necas's contract expiring then what? If he isn't going to sign do you downgrade again. Trade is underwhelming in my opinion when you look at other trades. The Jets were able to trade a player like PLD that wasn't going to re-sign who is not in the same tier as Rantanen and get back a top line forward, a top nine forward and a bottom six forward.
According to Eliot Friedman the Avs were willing to pay up to $11.75M AAV making him the highest paid winger in the NHL just ahead of Panarin. I guess you got to draw your line in the sand somewhere both from the Av's perspective and from Rantanen's
trading a 100 pt. scorer for a 65 pt. scorer-good. Giving ufa to be 100 pt. scorer $14 mil. per-not good. Canes can't score in playoffs and needed a big scorer/rental.
6M for Taylor Hall…. noooo what a waste. Turn around and trade taylor hall and get some draft picks back lol
I'm a big Avs fan and when I first heard about this I was mad but I trust Lord Sakic and his winning ways it will work!
It’s worse than you think.
I wonder which teams the Av's negotiated with, and which lead to the decision to trade him to Canes of all places.
Canes are a contender for sure, but if Rantanen rejected 90M offer from the Av's, he wont be agreeing to anything less than 15M per even from the Canes. Either he goes back to Av's for 12M or signs for near max cap.
The Avs gamble, was to upgrade goal wile downgrading offence. Canes sure got the better end of the deal, the East is wide open where as the West maybe a harder road. Avs ran it twice with elite offence and avg goaltending, but it was teams with solid depth that gave them early exit. I think management feels running it back wasn't going to be good enough with teams in the West. Calle is probably the biggest factor, he's contract is coming up soon and is going to get paid and with $14m Miko contract with probably a NTC it will be hard to keep Calle and build a solid team around him and MacKinnon with Miko's contract. Necas is no MIko, but he is also not looking for $14m. If Necas doesn't workout, the Avs got a lot of moveable contracts in the books for the coming years.
Mikko sais he’s been blindsided by the trade and was ready to take a discount. Can’t believe it from Colorado.
blackhawks won.
If the canes don't win a title this year, they lose.
if the avs don't win a cup in the next 3 years, they lose.
no one expects the hawks to win anything anytime soon.
Canes should sign Mikko Rantanen. Rantanen and Aho for the Finnish connection.
Canes should trade Andrei Svechnikov to the Penguins for Rutger McGroarty and a 2nd round pick.
Pens fan.
Nate is not happy.
canes go all in with andersen / kotchetkov in goal, i don’t get it
Avs also have landeskog coming back soon. I think that is the main reason they did this. Necas will most likely play 2C
All my Avs jerseys have 96 on the back. Still can’t believe it 🤯
5:30 – I’ve just watched MacKinnon’s locker room interview after the Bruins game and when he was asked about it, he looked totally gutted. Think him & Mikko were really good mates off the ice too so to Nate, it’s almost like he lost his best mate not just a top player on the team
Necas is an offensive talent, and the Avs won’t ask him to play defense like Rod did. It should work out unless Necas wants a payday after next season.
Necas is a very good player; it's not a lopsided trade.
Both teams took an L in their first match after the trade. Will be interesting to see where this goes, not that a whole team is hanging on ONE player or TWO. Necas looked pretty fitting into the line-up, he's fast and guess the chemistry could start to develop. Rantanen got some really good shots in, good boardbattles, but sadly no goals.
Necas is only 2yrs younger so i dont see this trade as big of a win for Avs, now if the age diffence was bigger then i would see it as a win for Avs.
Typical hyperbolic comment “this trade changes the landscape of the NHL” all the nhl YouTubers are like this. Its super annoying
Heartbroken over the loss of Moose, but, like you, I understand and would rather get a good (maybe great as he develops) return than just let him walk later for a big payday. I've advocated trading Mikko for Igor when the goalie situation was still up in the air (prior to the beautiful Woods solution). That said… If this is it, they’ve decided this is a lost season and it’s a long play for next year. I don’t (and don’t want to) believe this. I think this is part of a strategy (like paying Blackwood and Taser) to broaden and deepen the talent pool around Nate Dogg and Makar.
I hope this is part of a bigger second act, maybe JT Miller (for Miles Wood & Manson?). But whatever part 2 is better not involve Richie being shipped… he's a big part of being able to extend our window.
oddly enough i think he resigns with the avalanche , what a power move that would be
I thought Avs did pretty good for what they have to work with. Should have seen it coming but we didn’t. Lost in all this anger and doom from the Avs camp is the simple fact everyone loves Mikko. He is beloved here and on the team. Take away that and this was actually a good move
Sucks that the Avs are now a mediocre team. Just destroyed their own cup window
No doubt Rantanen was a core player in Colorado. They have some work to do to replace that void Rantanen leave behind. On the other hand Hurricanes really need this to take next step in hope to win the cup someday. Landeskog is a mystery right now. Is he able to come back and play at same level he used to before injury? Avalanche presumably count on that. Interesting to see how Rantanen and Necas plays in their new teams. We just have to give them few games.
Rod Brind'amour wasn't exactly thrilled to be traded to Carolina and look how that turned out.
Thanks for making me feel slightly better 😢
Lol it's bad 😂
Rantanen said he was willing to accept a home team discount..
You mentioned Landeskog very briefly, but I have to believe that was part of Colorado’s thought process too. To me this would seem to signal they feel good about Landy coming back and being productive.
I think Colorado won this trade, if and only if, Carolina doesnt win the cup. Even if Carolina re signs him, its an arm and two legs to do so. The blackhawks? I feel are completely stupid in this. I guess they got 1.37M in cap space but i didnt realize that cap space was an issue and 4.6M for a that and their 3rd round pick for hall sounds asinine on paper.
Rantanen is about as good as it gets.
You really cannot build a competive team if you pay more than 40% of the cap to three players… See Florida and Devils who are in a great situation for years to come. I think Necas is a steal for two years, but will probably be too expensive after that. It's going to be tough for Oilers to compete when McD signs for $16-18M…
From Rantanen's point of view, something good, in that when a Finnish guy gets angry, he usually starts doing things more efficiently, Perkele!
See LeBron James/Cavs….
TWICE
Finally someone said it
Nate and Mikko both said it was news them when Mikko got the news. Marty had an assist and hit the crossbar twice. Hes looking good on Macks line. He has that speed that Mikko doesnt
Necas Will be a Monster with Mackinnon
Rantannen is great but with Mackinnon help him a lot
get back in 5 years and see who won this. 1 day after is waaaaaaay to early..
I think the question of whether Colorado or Carolina made a good move will take a few months to learn. But Chicago made an absolutely stupid move as far as I can tell. They gave up a player AND $4.5 million for only a late third round pick.
Necas will flourish being on the MacKinnon line. Add Drouin and you have one of the speediest lines in hockey. Now they have a better shot at giving Makar a long term contract.
Prefer to see them get a combination involving Svechnikov over Necas but they did need Center help
Do I think it was a mistake to let the current #6 point scorer go? Yes. Do I understand why they did it? Also yes. Necas is the #10 points scorer so still get a top 10 guy in return and you free up cap space, with picks to use as trade bait. Avs didn't lose their ass here by any means. Makar is coming up on a contract year and I don't want the Avs to end up like Toronto. Still though…I hate seeing moose in a cane's sweater….
Crazy when you think about it. Mikko is the third best player on his team… 🤯
Everyone compares rant and draisitle in terms of contracts since they are both apparently the second guys to the star but Colorado already had that in makar and rant is a pure winger unlike draisitle who has proven to be an effective center rant is only worth the 12 max
.. what's wrong with this trade?
Canes are obviously biggest winners? 😀
They bet Mikko will play worth 14M. If this bet work out, they will have no money for other players. He´s great sniper but he need to have another superstar worth 14M. So nothing can happen for your good, everything can by only worse. For great talent Necas, who is similar quality but cheaper, solid bottom six player and two picks. OMG, guys xD
