Need the team to just fall a part down the stretch so heads roll. 

Honestly, if this is what we need to clean house and make changes with the coaching staff, I allow it. No offense to Rod, but his system doesn't win playoff series + his assistants are all useless.

Canes at least got something out of Rantanen. Better than keeping him on only to lose him for nothing in free agency.

Should never have signed him without a contract and making sure he was a good fit.

I don’t know what else has to happen. The team is stuck in playoff purgatory. With a roster that works hard but lacks talent. That’ll only take you so far.

For the god awful return they should have just kept him. 

He's not a rental either no excuses to getting such a p*ss return

Since we basically punted on the season by not making another move, call up Nadeau. And fug it, try Stankoven at center, idgaf.

Jarvis - Aho - Nadeau

Hall - Stankoven - Blake

Martinook - Staal - Svechnikov

Robinson - Kotkaniemi - Roslovic

Falling apart isn’t going to do anything either. This was always going to be an off year waiting on next years extra cap space plus all the young players that should be ready. 
 

now they go into the offseason with 4 extra picks plus an extra young player with 40m in cap space.

True. It sucks but keep grinding and play hard. Find out what you have to build with for this big offseason

That cap space doesn't mean jack squat people need to let the Marner pipe dream go, high end talent wants nothing to do with RBA

Prepare to be mad then. There’s a reason they didn’t go after depth on the dline.

Wasn’t talking about Marner. 
 

40m is a lot of space to fill out a team that’s already got its core signed long term.

Well, the whole Necas and Rantanen fiasco was a massive massive blunder by Tulsky. That said, it's one that this team can easily survive and forget about soon enough. But hopefully it's a wakeup call for the rookie GM and he actually learns a lot from it. Hopefully Stankoven proves to be decent but man just such an underwhelming return for giving away Necas. Rantanen is a bitch but whatever I don't blame him, he didn't owe us anything or ask to be traded here. Our fault for trading for a pending UFA without having contract discussions with him before the trade.

We did talk to his camp prior to him being moved and offered what he asked for. His agent then played hardball because Mikko didn’t like it here off the ice.

If the NHL was made up of 50 somethings from NYC that enjoy the night life of Cary, NC then we’d have the best team in the league.

NFL players have got it through their heads that you don’t have to live where you play, for some reason NHL players haven’t figured that out.

Congrats to Rantanen on fumbling a $13.25M/8 year deal from Carolina. And yes I know Texas has no state tax.
