I can’t believe the Avs traded Rantanen. A top 5 in the world player who actually produces in the playoffs. Marty Necas is good but not on the same level. canes got way better overnight.
That being said, they also saddled themselves to the biggest loser in the league. You don’t succeed with Taylor Hall. Nobody ever has. The guy just keeps proving me right. Just a massive loser.
|
Sounds like Rantanen wants to get paid. Like 13M+. He got his cup and this is his last shot to secure the next 4 generations of Rantanen’s. If he wasn’t at all interested in a team friendly deal, I can see why the avs did this. Helps us in our conference at least.
|
Basically, the same situation as Drai was in. You just gotta pay the guy. He’s worth it. So few guys the truly move the needle, you gotta keep them when you have them.
|
True, but I think Drai is quite a bit better than Rantanen, but Rantanen basically wants Drai money.
Probably has been some errors by the avs with guys they signed long term too. Ross Colton, Miles Wood, Middlestadt all sweet long term deals for what they bring. Nichushkin, don't know what's going on with that guy anymore. He's 1 substance abuse mistake away from a 1 year ban I think, and he stays fully on the cap if he does. Blackwood just put 5.5M on their cap next year and they may still need to go goalie shopping if he is only having a lucky run right now (remember when he didn't allow 3 in any avs game until he faced us? 3 GA in all his games since haha).
I do get the cap hell they have push themselves in now. Can definitely argue they should have stuck more with their top guys and been a little more picky about tossing money at other mid-range fowards.
