HNIC:

Avs offer to Rantanen believed to be at $11.75 mil per
Would have made him the highest paid winger (above Panarin) but below Mackinnon

Time yesterday Friedman thought Pettersen was going to be a Cane
Believe one of the teams in on Pettersen is Buffalo

Despite reports, Friedman says Canes only wanted Pettersen not JT Miller

Blackhawks get higher pick than they would have if they traded Hall straight up by 20 picks.
Hawks also save half a million by retaining on Rantanen rather than Hall

Marner has full NTC/NMC; so situation with Rantanen is not comparable as Rantanen could not block a trade to Carolina.

Friedman says that there are going to be teams that won't be comfortable spending to a $100 million salary cap. Colorado trading rantanen might signal there are going to be teams that will have an internal cap.
