He tried to make a big play last year where he came off of Natchez, moved him to Colorado, got Rontanen without having him agree to sign a contract.
matched
Rontanen ended up saying, no, I don't really want to be here.
matched
And that fizzled through.
matched
But on the goal line, coming towards the deadline last year, he made a trade to get Rontanen.
matched
So Rontanen, this unreal elite player, goes from getting poached from Colorado, where he'd won a cup,
matched
Doesn't want to sign in Carolina and he moves them at the deadline to Dallas for Stankhoven and then somehow works out a three-way trade to get Taylor Hall.
matched
Well, along with a guy they drafted and developed in Jackson Blake, a former player, Jason Blake, they formed the second line on that team and they're the hottest line in playoffs right now.
matched
So they have two of these guys locked in moving forward between Stankhoven and Jackson Blake at just over $11 million for the next eight years, and they're dominating playoffs.
matched
Rotten and Cost, Dallas, $12 million.
matched
So smart, smart moves, very efficient players, and then they got a guy, Taylor Hall, who won a Hart Trophy with the New Jersey Devils, former first overall pick.
matched
They got him off of Chicago for...
matched
cents on the dollar and then they signed him to a deal where i think he's making four million so you have the hottest line in the league making three million then you paid the one superstar that you got rid of at the deadline last year that's fucking making moves baby okay and aside from that the the last compliment and stroke off i'll give them i think it has to do with the culture setter a guy who won a stanley cup there and rod brindamore
matched
He's their head coach.
matched
He was a maniac when he played.
matched
He would be the guy, first guy to the rink, in the gym, workout before practice, hardest working guy in practice, last guy on the ice, after practice, go to the gym, last guy to leave the rink, working out after games.
matched
This guy retired.
matched
He should be in the Hall of Fame as a player.
matched
And now he's led the Carolina Hurricanes since he's been head coach to, I believe, eight or nine now playoff appearances.
matched
And this is his third trip to the conference finals, I believe, in the last four years, where the last two times they've been, they've been swept.
matched
But man, this guy, he gets the most out of his players, an absolute culture setter.
