No matter how much the media seem to want to show it, it's still very easy to ignore women's football here. I'd assume the same goes for women's basketball in a country with a lot more for people to spend time on.

Not buying this for a second.
But I will say if it indeed does get done early, it's probably a good sign for us and Mikko probably will take a discount. We're still talking probably $12M. But he could easily ask for $13M+ knowing he'd get it as a UFA.

I agree that I'm not really buying it, all due respect, Montano is about the last person I'd expect to have this scoop.
Also, I fully expect it to be a stupid number like, 11,969,696 per year.

I don't know why he'd make shit up. He's been literally the only guy who constantly traveled with the team last year. At the moment I don't think there's a single journalist in Denver who's closer to the team than he is.
Guerilla Sports last season had the best Avalanche coverage and he's their main guy.

Yeah Jesse is around the team more than most in the media. He's not a rumor monger

Yeah not sure why he'd sign early. He has all the leverage. Avs aren't trading him and with a rising cap he knows he'll get paid. Another year with MacK just pumping up his production. Force the Avs to offer 13 or walk to UFA.
Unless the Avs are just gonna offer him 13 right away. Makes no sense for Rantanen to sign for 12 before the season starts.

You know not all situations have to be exploited to the Nth degree.
If Mikko is happy in Denver and wants to remain teammates with Cale/Nate/Landy (and why shouldn't he?), there's no reason why he wouldn't settle on something closer to market value/more in the team's cap structure around 12M rather than hold out all year.
Especially with max term.
12M x 8 = 96M (seems like a match made in heaven)
13M x 7 = 91M
Don't f*** with happiness

You could say the same about alot of contract negotiations. Just saying he basically has all the leverage. I seem to remember Rantanen being the hardest deal to get done among the top guys but I could have that wrong.
Would be awesome if he signs for 12 early on tho.

There's no way Bednar would comply, but you're right - hardball goes both ways

If he signs early for 8 years, he knows he can chain smoke this summer and through the season. If he doesn't sign, he'll need to work hard to show he still has the goods in order to secure as much money as possible

Carolina is bland but they know it. The Guentzel move was an attempt to get more dynamic scoring.
Honestly, they should be front of the line when the Miko trade discussions open
Necas and Drury for Mikko E4

Unpopular opinion:
Everything that starts with a 12 or even 13 is not a match made in heaven,
Thats my personal take.
