That the Trade Deadline will be complete chaos and carnage with players moving all across the league.
It’s a move that definitely helps the Islanders out in the future.
Calum Ritchie is a high-end prospect and probably one of the best 15-20 players not currently in the NHL.
They get a 1st round pick.
It’s a good starting point for whatever that rebuild is going to look like on Long Island.
And for the Colorado Avalanche, they are loading the fuck up.
A guy who is going to give you everything he has every time he touches the ice.
I feel like you’re never going to get a bad game out of Brock Nelson.
You win a Stanley Cup and nobody ever gives a shit about losing that 1st round pick.
You see, this is the way that Rantanen trade should have happened in the first place.
I mean how dumb do the Carolina Hurricanes have to be?
Here I was thinking that Eric Tulsky was some genius.
That’s what happens when an organization has an overinflated sense of their own standing in the league.
Have you ever seen a big name free agent sign in Carolina?
Of course you haven’t.
A few weeks go by and they quickly start to realize that’s not the case.
Mikko Rantanen has no interest in signing an extension in Carolina yet, and now they have to scramble.
For Dallas, what a move this would be.
They’ll probably have to give up someone like Logan Stankoven to make this deal happen.
So Stankoven for Rantanen is a trade you make 11 times out of 10.
That will be the real Stanley Cup Final.
Whichever team wins that matchup will win the whole thing.
Maybe there’s something actually to the rumors that the Bruins would be open to trading Marchand.
We could be in for an elite Deadline Day here, folks.
Turn on those Friedman notifications.
