Colorado should sign him for 13. Trade Mittelstadt, Girard, and let Drouin go.

They can slide him in and keep Necas.

Doubt Carolina is letting him get away at this point. I think a lot of teams learned from the flames gutting a few years ago.

I think the very same could be said for the Huberdeau contract though

I love how both lessons learned in recent years come from the Flames.

Rantanen missed today's game with a LBI.

If he has a terrible showing in Carolina i can see GMs having some serious trepiditions about giving him that kind of money/term.
But Rantanen only needs to convince one.

I can’t see a world where the teams chasing Rantanen aren’t also chasing Marner, so Rantanen isn’t signing for worlds less than Mitch in any event.

Besides, the Hurricanes win with team defense and structure - not giving it to the big dogs and letting them cook. Rantanen’s not going to be as productive with Aho. But he’s still Mikko Rantanen.

He’s getting his money.

They played 8 games for the Flames already!? Wow. Time flies.

4 nations ends Feb 20th and then the trade deadline is March 7. That is a very short window to decide Rantanen isn't working out and flip him again.

It would make for good drama for Carolina to move him back to the west.
