Sounds like both are going to Carolina, WTF?

Rumour is Necas is going to Colorado.

Only potential positive if this rumoured trade happens is that it might encouraging NYR, or another Eastern team, to get serious about JTM or Petey.

What’s going on with Rantanen? Why would Colorado want to trade him?

Sounds like the Rantanen part of the trade is a done deal, Necas going to Col.

Apparently Necas and Kotkaniemi. Surprising. I always thought Carolina was a money conscious organization. Tight wads.

Also have read that Chicago is retaining half of Rantanen's contract but none on Hall's.

Sounds like a crazy trade.

Have also read that the trade call hasn't happened yet so I guess this deal could still fall through.

How often do you see a beast like Rantanen traded? He’s 6th overall in point totals in the nhl.

The massive three way deal will send Mikko Rantanen and Taylor Hall to Carolina, Martin Necas & Jack Drury to Colorado per sources.

Chicago takes on 50% of Rantanen’s salary and gets its own third round pick back.

Colorado is having issues re signing Rant.

“Apparently” Carolina were going back n forth between proposed deals, one involving the Canucks and one involving the Avalanche. They chose the Avalanche. “Apparently” the Canucks brass had been hunkering down all day at Roger’s Arena trying to work a deal or two
