If that's indeed the case, it doesn't shed a good light on mngmnt/ownership... especially with a player who's loving the city & team as much as Boeser does.

I wonder which implications this behavior could have in regards to future off-season signings. Canadian markets are already unpopular enough.

Trade Dealine, everybody is shoring up for the playoffs.

Vancouver Canucks:

“Yah…….. are there anymore guys out there named Petterson ??”

Lastly: Marchand, eh? In my mind, he and Boston are synonymous.

It's going to take a while to get used to that. But one thing is for certain: the Panters are going to be fun to watch in the playoffs... and maybe one can hope the Bostonian Rat will return home after his lil adventure in the south.

of dump-and-chase probably quite out of his comfort zone.
Not to mention all the mental aspects accompanying the events of the last couple of weeks.

TL;dR it's for the best Carolina got to flip him. And if Nečas continues to get elevated by MacKinnon, neither of the three teams lost this trade.

Sure, the best outcome for the Canes would have been for Rantanen signing an extension with CAR and producing at the same pace as he did at MacKinnon's side.

But realistically speaking, CAR's system wasn't a match. He's more of a passenger rather than a driver of play and with RBA's preferred style

Speaking of Rantanen: viewing the situation as one big 3-way-trade between COL, CAR & DAL... it wasn't that bad of a deal. In the contrary actually, if you ask me.

Nečas, Drury + a few picks for Stankoven, Hall, two 1st rd picks and a 3rd is a return, the team wouldn't have gotten without Rantanen.

The downside? If I'm reading one more Canucks or Hurricanes trade-rumor article in the name of research, I might be losing my sanity..

what a burden, I know :)

What does it 'correct' Byram to tho? My new keyboard is adamant to change 'hky player' to 'holy player' lmao 💀💀

Hey!! So excited to have found you here again!
