Im going to be sick if we traded Necas/Drury to only turn around and flip Mikko to another team

Especially since Necas and Drury have played pretty well for Colorado. I personally don't think they will trade Mikko, but I am not in the room with Tulsky and his staff.

I dont either, I think they are keeping all options available. Lebrun just posted that Mikko let the Canes know he isnt ready to make a decision on the contract offer, which I dont blame him for that. Each side has to do what they think is best, and I think Tulsky is just covering all possibilites

ESPN is reporting that Rattannen will be traded to Dallas if he signs the extension. If this happens, then Tulsky has laid a big egg with his first big trade.

Lets see the return before we say that. If its Wyatt Johnston or Logan Stankoven, Ill be happy with it. If the numbers out there that Mikko turned down here (seen 12.5 all the way up to 13.25), you cant let him walk this summer.

He was abysmal last night outside of the first five minutes of the third. Kind of clear he didnt want to be here

So basically Necas/Drury for Stankoven, Hall, two first round picks, and two third round picks. While it doesnt help for the playoffs, thats not a bad return for players who didnt want to be here (Necas and Mikko)

it's not bad in the grand scheme of things, but Carolina is taking a loss here on paper. Not sure if it's a locker room loss though.

He wasn't going to sign in Carolina in the summer. Might as well try and get something for him at the deadline. The Guentzel deal bothers me more than this one. Hopefully with the draft picks and cap space we can have some nice additions in the offseason.

Tend to agree, but I didnt see this as a Cup team even with Mikko. So now we have a young gun under our control until 2030 (I think, could be off) and all signs point toward a Taylor Hall extension with a ton of draft assets to work with come free agency. To me, thats the best of what turned into a bad situation, so Ill take it

Flipping Necas and Drury for what we ended up with I think is pretty good. It looks bad to have a superstar say thanks, but no thanks to playing in Raleigh, but they tried and ended up with a pretty decent haul at the end.

Don't know if this or true or not, but last night during the broadcast, it seemed to me that Tripp and Shane Willis were intimating that locker room was much better after the trade deadline. Shane said they were not trying to implicate Mikko in that assumption, but to me it sounds like he was not a good fit in the Canes locker room.

If you watch how they played against the Bruins vs how they played the Jets last night, I think its pretty clear what the problem was

Oh I know Mikko did not play well against the Bruins, but that was the night before the trade deadline and he probably knew that he was moving again. I think he played hard for most of his time here, but sometimes it's just not the right fit.

And let me add, the whole team has been in somewhat of a malaise since November and on. Last week they were only one game over .500 since the 10-2 start. Yesterday was one of their best games since then.

Felt like Mikko never wanted to be in Carolina. That definitely has an effect on the locker room. Game yesterday was great except the PP, though they had some really great opportunities. Feel like there's a lot of hesitation to just pull the trigger.

According to Rod on the Canes Corner podcast, when Mikko got there he told them that there were 4 teams he'd play for and we weren't one. During negotiations, Colorado asked if he'd sign here, and they said yes as a negotiating tactic because they didn't think he'd actually be traded.

Good to know.

Are you saying that the Canes asked Colorado if Mikko would sign here and they said yes, although we were not one of the teams he said he would play for? Do I have that right?

The Canes asked Colorado if Mikko would be open to re-signing, Colorado asked Mikko, Mikko told Colorado yes, Colorado told us yes.

Colorado didn't lie to us, they were lied to as well. Mikko and his agent didn't tell them the truth because they were just acting like it was a negotiating tactic and not a real possibility.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.

He already has two goals for the Stars including an empty netter.
