Stars Sign and Trade For Rantanen, Stankoven and Picks to Canes in Return



This trade has yet to be officially announced by either team which is odd, considering it was reported hours ago. Maybe a third team is involved?

  1. So excited about Stankoven he’ll fit the forecheck heavy style. Not sure why we lose; sounds like he wouldn’t even negotiate. His play was not good. His last game looked sad

  2. so disappointed in Mikko what kind of backwards spineless decision and treatment that to a team you won a cup with and played there for 10 years. You have brothers on that team who loved you. You could’ve gone anywhere else even vegas and it wouldn’t hurt as much. To sign for pretty much the same amount we offered you too is just disgusting idk don’t care if you bring up income tax. You should feel ashamed.

    As for the canes, I get you don’t want to trade him in the east but what kind of return is that? Idc how promising stank is this does not make you better NOW, if case Tulskey didn’t know your cup window is RIGHT NOW you don’t have time for prospects. You should’ve just kept Mikko as a rental and take first chance to resign him again in summer. Honestly awful return should’ve gotton stank and marchment at leastttttt. I feel disgusted. Can’t wait for stars and Tampa again in scf. Fuck Mikko Rantanen

  3. I think Carolina did really good in my opinion what the gave up compared to what they got back looking back i think Carolina be the “winner” of this trade

  4. I think Rantanen had no interest being a rental player. Why would he play hard for Carolina, he has no loyalty to them.

    He had his eyes set on free agency, but it got ruined and probably got a bad taste for the business side of NHL and said no thanks, ill decide my own destiny

  5. Can we acknowledge how much of a disaster this whole ordeal is for Carolina? They lost their best player for draft picks and stankoven

  6. I was soo excited to see Rantanen traded out of the central…. I’m a JETS fan. Now he’s back. And Dallas looks LOADED UP. Damn

  7. Wish the best to Stankoven but this trade was a no brainer. Welcome to Dallas Rantanen, make the Finnish mafia proud!

  8. Canes fans, please treat Stankoven with love! He was a great addition to the roster and works really hard on the ice and I hope he continues on to greatness in Carolina

  9. The Stars have worked very hard for the past few years. Hopefully they can get to the finals.

  10. The guy will certainly play better than rantanen in rba system, canes really need a 2c with size this offseason either through trade

  11. As a canes fan it feels like a shot in the gut from what we all felt 6 weeks ago, but when you look at the big picture of necas, Drury, a 3rd, and 4th for stankoven, hall, and 2 first round picks, you can't objectively say they did poorly. Its not how you wanted it to play out, but we are still a good team and now have a TON to work with this offseason as well as Nikishin potentially joining the team at the end of the year and the sky is the limit for him

  12. Stanky is a great player that will only get better, but I think Stars got a good deal here with Rantanen. We were just missing that one piece in the playoffs. The Finnish army is complete, can't wait!

  13. The other thing people forget is, Necas really wasn't ever going to be a Hurricane long-term. They drafted him to be a 2-way 2C. When he failed to live up to expectations, it became a square peg in a round hole situation. I'm not trying to trash Necas, he's a very good player but it wasn't a great fit all the time, for the same reason Jeff Skinner wasn't a great fit all the time. And speaking of the Skinner trade, who did they get in that trade? Kochetkov and Nikishin. Those are the kind of moves smart teams make, and dumb people lose their minds when it happens because the only thing they see is the points scored category. I've seen Stankoven play twice and both times his skill and compete level jumped off the screen. He plays a lot like Seth Jarvis. That's a playoff guy right there

  14. Tell me one thing just to clear things up. Why on earth is dallas giving canes anything? Dallas didnt have any need to get him? It was carolina who was in panic, dallas could offer 3-4th rounder picks and laugh at carolina gm? Why they give anything on him

  15. FINLAND! i know people are thinkin what's the big deal with Finnish players. i dunno! but it works in Dallas. Honestly i was a little ambivalent about this possibility until i heard that he actually named Dallas as one team he was interested in. If he wants to be here it will go a lot better. and He is a bear which we sorely need as Benn winds down his career.

  16. Dallas is going to start communicating in Finnish at this rate, they're just collecting them like Infinity stones

  17. Dallas will still be the most boring team to watch in the west. They are slow and rantanen doesn't change that he is slow as well. Time will tell but adding rantenan I don't believe changes much in dallas.

  18. I think we (Stars) gave way too much to get this guy. Two (2) 1st rounders and two (2) third rounders, and Logan Stankoven. I hope we didn't sacrifice too much future stuff for right-now results. I really like Jim Nill a lot, but maybe too much given up here.

  19. Again that's not how nhl players are taxed they are all paid in USD and pay taxes the location of the game. They are paid per game. Shannon I've commented this on many videos…..please read it.
