I don't believe Rishaug on this one. At least not that they had a deal with Rantanen. Maybe the Oilers were planning on offering more than Dallas agreed to but Rishaug reported that the Oilers didn't have the pieces available to agree to a trade. Why would Carolina let Edmonton talk contract with Rantanen when they wouldn't let Dallas talk to Rantanen until after a deal was made?
