Are you certain Colorado would match? I'm not. Colorado with all their cap space has not simply handed Rantanen a blank cheque—he is still (by all reports) just as far away from a contract as are Tkachuk and Point. If Rantanen signed an offer sheet and it was in considerable excess of what Sakic has budgeted and is willing to spend, then the Avalanche most likely let him walk and accept the picks.
