I'd almost guarantee Carolina is re-signing him.

Ya different story if a extension is in place forsure

This is like Xmas in January!!

I don’t understand why the Avs do this???? Isn’t he their best player after MacKinnon?

 

[eviohh26]

Necas prob. But why?

 

[SoupNazi]

Let’s gooooo

 

[Schenn]

Absolute insanity

 

[McShogun99]

I’m guessing Colorado didn’t want to pay Rantanen’s asking price. Only reason I can think of why they would trade one of the best wingers in the game.

 

[Miro4Norris]

Thats insane! Would have believed Colorado to believe their championship chances enough to keep Rantanen to The end of the season if he is going to be a rental in Carolina anyways! But I am expecting to hear about his new contract now, usually this kind of trades come with a contract

RIP HF

Toronto is involved?

Can’t agree on a extension… so gotta move him before they lose him for nothing

It’s the only reason. And even then…what are you doing to your chances this season?

 

[gilfaizon]

Necas for a non-extended Rantanen is a good get IMO.

 

[Avs44]

LOLorado wtf you doing?!

Contract negotiations obviously didn't go well and they don't believe enough in this season to let him go to UFA (the latter is probably true -- the team isn't looking great).

 

[Dust]

Carolina bringing in 15m in players, Chicago and Avs both retaining?

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

I'd almost guarantee Carolina is re-signing him.

Lmao, you don't know Carolina then.

Definitely got a team to root for this season as the Penguins are out of the completion! Bunch of Jerks

You extend your window multiple years with Mackinnon/Makar/Necas and try to add to it.

 

[bleuetbio]

I would say Jarvis and Nikitin... I pray not Necas, dont like the DNA

 

[GeeoffBrown]

this has to be one of the best players to be traded in years
