  • Stars to acquire Mikko Rantanen pending extension

    Elliotte Friedman reports that trade talks between the Dallas Stars and Carolina Hurricanes surrounding Mikko Rantanen are “headed down” the road.

    It’s not known if an extension with the Stars is part of the deal, but Dave Pagnotta reported that Rantanen might be amenable to an extension with the Stars or the Florida Panthers.

    Carolina preferred to sign Rantanen, but Rantanen’s camp made it clear this week that an extension with the club wasn’t in the works.

    The return is unknown at this point, but one would have to believe that there is a significant roster piece going back to Carolina, who won’t be looking for a retool.

    UPDATE: The trade is apparently agreed upon, pending Rantanen agreeing to an extension, which has not happened yet.

  • Avalanche acquire Brock Nelson

    The Colorado Avalanche have acquired Brock Nelson and William Dufour from the New York Islanders in exchange for Calum Ritchie, Oliver Kylington a 2026 1st round pick and a 2028 conditional 3rd round pick.

    The Islanders subsequently traded Oliver Kylington to the Anaheim Ducks for future considerations.

    The Islanders are retaining 50% of Nelson’s salary.

    The 2026 1st round pick could end up being a 2027 1st round pick if conditions are not met.

    It’s quite the haul for Nelson, who was one of the most sought after centers on the market. Ritchie was 21st in the Athletic’s top prospect list in February.

    The Islanders reportedly offered Nelson a 3-year contract, but Nelson wanted a longer term deal.
