Rantanen appears to be looking for the bag.

Not many teams can give him the bag though. It'll be interesting to see his story unfold after the season.

Some team like Nashville will and then be shocked at what happens.

If any pending UFA is worth Draisaitl money, it is Rantanen. If the Canes wont do it, some other GM will.

Not if the Flames want to do that trade and start tanking. Having Makar is almost like winning the lottery.

Yeah his splits away and with MacKinnon at 5v5 worry me...if a team gives him $14M it could be a mistake for sure.

If Rantanen wouldn't give a discount to stay in Colorado, I doubt he'd take one for Carolina.
They will either be giving out the biggest contract in their history, or he will walk after the season.
Kind of hope he walks right into CCs arms.

I think the Canes try to give Rantanen really huge money for slightly shorter term. Also, we all know about the aging curve, but Rantanen is on pace for his third straight season with over 100 points. He’s huge, very strong and fast. I think he could be a very good player for quite some time still just because he’s starting from such a high point. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Canes do just give him a max-term contract.

I think that is more an indication of the Avs top heavy forward depth. You're going from MacKinnon to Mittelstadt.

How would Makar for any Flames D initiate tanking?

Unless he was trying to take Colorado to the cleaners which I doubt, this is a pretty big disrespect for Rantanen. I can see him going nuts for Carolina. Was a captain in Finland as a 17 year old in a men's league.
Colorado just dug it's own grave IMO.

Not really about taking Colorado to the cleaners. More of an issue if Colorado can pay him a higher salary than MacKinnon

Which doesn't make sense if the cap is much higher. It's like saying you have to play by the old rules, here are the new ones.
