I've watched Rantanen a lot this past season. He's a remarkable talent and a good kid to boot. I haven't been this excited about a TPS prospect since Saku Koivu (including Ristolainen, Mikko Koivu and Lauri Korpikoski). I think he has the tools to be an exceptional player. The idea of him playing with any of Gaudreau, Monahan and Bennett...
