However the Hurricanes, completely, from what CJ and Dregs and I’ve compiled right here in the previous few hours, are, , completely discovering out what groups are prepared to forego with to amass Mikko Rantanen.
Now, need to watch out right here. I feel they’re totally canvassing the market and getting an understanding of the state of affairs right here over the subsequent 24-48 hours. Then they need to determine, are we nonetheless buying and selling them?
They usually may. And I feel loads of it has to do with, I feel, possession. I feel Tom Dundon in Carolina, I don’t assume he’s pleased that they haven’t been capable of lengthen Mikko Rantanen. That was the plan once they traded for him six weeks in the past. And so we’ll see.
Groups which might be understanding have checked in with Carolina, embrace the Dallas Stars, who’ve cap room due to their accidents of Vegas, Florida.
