Trading Logan Stankoven for Mikko Rantanen Was A No-Brainer! | DLLS Stars Podcast

We resume our summer series  “The Other 31” today, drilling down on the Carolina Hurricanes, with special guests Mike Maniscalco, Hurricanes play-by-play announcer, and Joe Ovies, host of the Ovies & Giglio Podcast. We have a lot to talk about with our guests today: from the Mikko Rantanen-Logan Stankoven trade, to the Hurricanes winning the Nikolaj Ehlers free agency sweepstakes, to Carolina losing defensemen Brent Burns and Dmitry Orlov, to acquiring defenseman K’Andre Miller from the New York Rangers and signing him to an eight-year, $60 million contract. Both the Stars and Hurricanes made it to the 2025 Conference Finals, before losing to the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers, respectively. Can both teams get back there in 2026 and maybe even get over the hump?
