Whether an NHL player has been traded five times or is experiencing it for the first time, everyone handles these situations differently. One of the biggest

Speaking on the AltitudeTV broadcast during Sunday's game between the Colorado Avalanche and New York Rangers, Jack Drury talked about the massive trade involving $55.

The Carolina Hurricanes had a big shakeup to their roster last night, adding superstar winger Mikko Rantanen and forward Taylor Hall in exchange for Martin Necas and Jack Drury. The two forward made their way to New York today and are in the lineup for the Canes' 7:30 game against the New York Islanders.

The deal sees Mikko Rantanen and Taylor Hall go to Carolina and Martin Necas, Jack Drury and draft picks head to Colorado. Chicago gets its own 2025 third-round pick back and takes on half of Rantanen's $9.

Drury’s uncle is Chris Drury, who spent four seasons with the Avalanche (1998-02), was a member of the 2001 Stanley Cup championship team and is the current General Manager of the New York Rangers.

The trade also features Martin Necas, a 2025 second-round pick and a 2026 fourth-round pick heading to Colorado, while Mikko Rantanen and Taylor Hall move to Carolina and Chicago retains 50 percent of Rantanen's salary and receives a 2025 third-round pick.

The first major domino has fallen more than a month before the March 7 trade deadline, with Mikko Rantanen and Taylor Hall going to the Hurricanes and Martin Necas heading to the Avalanche in a three-team blockbuster,

The Hurricanes acquired Rantanen and Chicago Blackhawks left winger Taylor Hall in the deal ... and Hurricanes center Jack Drury, as well as a 2025 second-round pick and a 2026 fourth-rounder ...

Multiple sources have reported that the Avalanche are in the process of trading Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday. Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff first reported this and later Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

The Mikko Rantanen trade undoubtedly ranks among the biggest in the salary cap era, but maybe recency bias plays a role in that perception. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit some other blockbuster contenders.

The Carolina Hurricanes will be back in Raleigh, N.C., for a game Thursday night with a different look from when they last played on home ice.
