Trading Rantanen: “It doesn’t make any sense”, claims Pierre LeBrun

The Mikko Rantanen file continues to spark conversations.

And the reason is simple: when a player of his caliber is traded in the middle of the season… You don’t expect him to be in trade rumors a few weeks after being traded.

But that’s the case with Rantanen. And let’s say that time is starting to run out for the Hurricanes…

The trade deadline (March 7) is approaching and the Hurricanes’ management has to make a decision.

Do we keep Rantanen or send him somewhere else without taking the risk of seeing him leave on the free agent market this summer?

If Pierre LeBrun were in Eric Tulsky’s shoes, he wouldn’t even think of trading the talented player.

Because the Hurricanes’ goal, after all, is to win the Stanley Cup while the window is open:

If he leaves on July 1 and you win a Cup… Who cares? – Pierre LeBrun

In that context, it’s true that Pierre LeBrun’s comments make sense.

Because the Hurricanes will probably not get the desired price for Rantanen if they decide to trade the player.

The Canes want a player who can help now… And there is no Cup contender team that will be willing to sacrifice its core to bring him in.

At least, it would be illogical to do so.

The Carolina team can already count on the services of one of the best players in the world. Why not take advantage of it to try to do what they’ve been trying to do for a few years, which is to go all the way and lift the precious trophy?

Ultimately, it may be the way to go for them to win quickly.

Because if the Canes trade Rantanen and it leads to nothing… We can call it a real catastrophe.
