While Friday night was an exciting time for many Carolina Hurricanes fans — as the team acquired by Mikko Rantanen and Taylor Hall in a three-team, blockbuster trade — it was also a somber time too as the team said goodbye to two long-time members of the organization.

For one, you have the money part of it all. Collectively, Necas and Drury are making $8.225 million against the salary cap this season, which is less collectively than Rantanen’s $9.25 million cap hit on his own. With his deal expiring in the offseason and the other two being under contract for 2025-26, there’s a “run it back” aspect in play.

The Mikko Rantanen trade had one big loser: The Rangers. The New York Rangers has a rough night on Tuesday. Not only did the team fall further back in the Metropolitan Division standings with a 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes at home, but they also helped validate every part of the blockbuster Mikko Rantanen trade.
