Ben Shelley: Hurricanes add Rantanen and Hall in huge trade, send Necas and Drury to Avs

Straight up Big Baller move.

Logical take on the trade. Sorry to here that you have stepped aside. So in reality, the 4 or 5 franchises that you were covering still have a "writer", but you will only occasionally drop in. So basically 2/3rds of the league have no writer, or a passive one. Ouch.

Well without a goalie still be 1st or 2nd roubd elimination

That's just it. Even against a team like the Rangers, goaltending could prove to be too big of a gap

I think you are going to find that Necas looks a heck of a lot like Rantanen when playing with Mack and Makar. You got the better player but paid a hell of a price.

Not being rude, but this is a terrible trade for the Canes. Now Tulsky is going to have his hand forced into paying Rantanen $14M to save face and keep him from walking.
