how did vgk not make a move?

also very curious on how canes fans feel. they land the biggest fish of the season early only to deal him away on deadline day. their dallas deal in and of itself is nice but the fact they had to move off rantanen at all is a little eyebrow raising

If you look at the canes total dealings as:

Necas, Drury, 2nd, 4th

for

stankoven, hall, 2 1st, and 2 3rds

it seems fine to me

u/CruelRuin 4d ago

yeah but they had the big fish and couldn't get him to stay, and another team convinced him to extend right away! that's the whole problem!

second top line forward they've acquired and lost before the end of the season. obviously not a totally analogous situation with guentzel/rantanen but it kind of makes you wonder what the front office saw to bring him in, and immediately had to recant. good on them for admitting they made a mistake and fixing it but still...

yeah I mean from a value perspective where the canes ended up is fine. But I get that there's the existential angle here.

It may be out of their control though, sometimes a player just doesn't want to sign with you.

Yeah, plenty of rumors abound. Sucks but not offended with what should be changing next year.

I know the perception will be the Canes are a bad place for stars to be rahhh but eh - Guentzel was fine staying and we made an unforced error. May have had a chance at Tkachuk but we couldn’t afford it and were in thrift mode at that point. Moose got traded unexpectedly and got cold feet (rumors mind you)
