Rantanen take some notes (he won't).

Yeah so he's had a $12M per year offer on the table since the start of the season according to pundits... so he waited 5 months and then took less. Sounds about right.
The 1 year of RFA remaining is likely what drove that down below 12M.
Probably something like:
Year 1: $9M
Year 2-8: $12M
That would be an $11.625M cap hit.

He’s accomplished more in the NHL than he has, so yeah he’ll make more

Good deal for the Canucks. They were able to drag it out and coerce a player into re-signing with some threats of Carolina thrown it.

Yeah, Rantanen has done more to this point. The big factor will also be UFA vs RFA quite frankly.
Peteys 8 year deal still bought 1 RFA year. That is essentially what brings him under $12M.
Mikko is gonna be a pure UFA. I'd say this Pete deal only further points to Mikko getting at least ~$12.5M on an 8 year deal.

Paying for past accomplishments is a good way to get into cap hell

Never said I would do it, but he will earn more than EP40 on his next deal

Everyone else here seems to think Ritchie is the second coming of McDavid, so maybe they’re interested in a prospect heavy trade. I’d be all for trading Byram for the right guy, I just don’t think the Avs will.

Good job, that's 100% what everyone is suggesting.

If it’s along with another bigger move or two I am fine with it. He’s a better Nieto.
That's the magic of UFA. The lesser player going forward will make more.
So trade Rants for a 2C and 5D.

This is one of the more inaccurate, idiotic takes I've seen on this board in a while!

Not that I really care but nhl front office people get it wrong more then they do right. And since I don’t have a clue who you are and you haven’t to my knowledge revealed anything. Your opinion sucks just as bad as the rest of usGive me your list then sir!
Haha I’m sorry, I thought that my 13 years of NHL front office experience allowed me to have my own opinion on this sport.
Thank you for proving me otherwise!

He could and should have reset the market. Or maybe he took a discount?

This won't affect anything. Mikko has shown in the past he's willing to negotiate for the highest dollar figure possible.
I'll never blame players for wanting to secure as much as they can while they play. Though I also end up not having any sympathy for them whatsoever if they don't win anything and demand better teams. You can make good money and win. Or, you can make max money and probably not win. The choice is yours.
I don't exactly remember who or what the situation was, but it was during the lawsuit the ex-players had against the NHL towards concussions. Do you remember that? It happened like 7-11 years ago, and the court released 10 to 20,000 emails to the public records, and Bob was pretty much telling Campbell how to do his job. McKenzie was acting like a straight-up lobbyist.

I don't know about that... are you sure that Connor Bleackley is enough evidence to Michell Heard that information?
