We've netted another Finn. Now he has the otherworldly task of landing us the ultimate prize. Mikko. Sprinkle in some Eeli and that shadow stache of his, I think we've got a foothold here.

I need both Eeli's and Kaapo's mothers and grandmother's making Finnish homemade snacks and sending them to him. I need them calling his mom. Whatever emotional manipulation is needed.

"Is your Mikko really happy in Colorado? It can't be enjoyable living in MacKinnon and Makar's shadows. He's barely 3rd fiddle. They don't appreciate him there. Think about somewhere he could be the superstar. Him and my baby boy Kaapo would be best friends. Did he get the homemade Korvapuust I made him?"

Dynasties are built with homemade pastry.

We clear out Tanev and Gourde's contracts. We find potential buyers for Schwartz, Burakovsky, and Grubauer thats potentially $25,566,667.

We get Mikko. Then I need to formulate a scheme to get Mitch Marner…

  1. Unironically, if the avs don’t want to give mikko the 14 mil he’s asking for

    The kraken are actually looking like they could propose a sign and trade offer that would be hard to beat.

    Such a trade would likely be somthing like

    Bjorkstrand,oleksiak, and a 1st, may have to throw in middle upper level prospect like firkus

    This trade also could work with the leafs in the event they don’t want to extend marner

  2. I would love it. Getting someone like him would take the pressure off Benier and Wright and help those two grow. That is a big time trade i would love to see.

  4. I’m so done with this sub throwing Tanev and Gourde under the bus. Tanev is too important to our special teams and one of the few forwards we have who plays any real defense. The fact that this sub keeps throwing his name out as a potential trade option is such a tired take.

    The Tanev, Gourde, Kartye line has been one of the few consistencies we’ve had this season as well, particularly when we need a line to lay some hits and start generating some offense in games where we struggle.

    I can concede Burakovsky and Schwartz but I doubt Burky will garner much due to his lack of production and his tendency to give up pucks in the neutral zone.

  5. Be careful saying Mitch Marner’s name too loudly. With a name like that, and assuming he can’t hit a baseball, the Mariners might come grab him away first to have him DH

  6. Problem is that Kakkou & Rantanen play the same position, and they have almost an identical playing style (not taking account the level of play)

    Both want to be on the same spot on PP1.

    Highly doubt that Kakko would specifically try to get him in front of himself, and highly doubt Rantanen would “do that” to his own buddy, with whom he has trained many summers.
