[AvStock]

Petterson rumblings ongoing, what does a something like Mittlestadt and Rantanen for Petterson and Boeser sound like?

Mittlestadt doesn't have much value. Rantanen is elite but on the final year of his contract so why would Canucks trade 2 of their 3 best forwards for 4 months of a guy

Boeser is also a pending UFA, and will likely price himself out of Colorado.

There's no reason for the Avs to give up the better player in Rantanen and reopen the hole at 2C they finally filled, just because EP is signed to a cheaper deal. They need to bite the bullet and get Rantanen extended, even if the AAV is higher than MacKinnon. They also need to prepare to pay Makar more than both of them, as the cap continues to go up.

Hard no from the Avs imo.

Mitts has been streaky this season (probably doesn’t help his linemates have changed constantly due to injury) but he’s easily the best 2C we’ve had since Kadri. I think his passing is next level and Nuke being back is a blessing for him.

Rantanen is 2nd in the league in points. You don’t trade him away unless you’re absolutely certain he’s not returning. Still plenty of real estate before that’s known.

 

[Spilot23]

Yeah unless there is a contract on Rantanen there's no way Nucks touch this. But this trade doesn't make sense for the Avs if Rants was signed. Main piece being EP to play as #2C behind Mack while we trade our best goalscorer and winger. It seems like we're downgrading bad.

Nucks fans what are u expecting Boeser to sign for?

 

[LOFIN]

Absolutely f***ing not from the Avs

 

[LemonSauceD]

Why would the Avs do this? Rantanen is the better player.

Boeser to Colorado could make sense if Canucks fall off a cliff towards the deadline, but he’d probably be a pure rental considering there’s no way Avs can afford to re sign him to $8M he is commanding and likely will get.

Somewhere in the $8M range.

What?

Mittelstadt has no value?

You don’t mention that Boeser is a pending UFA but mention that about Rantanen(the best player in the trade)?

You make no sense

I like Boeser a lot but this is a take it and run deal for Vancouver. They can get out of EP's shitty contract and spend it instead on a player who actually deserves it.

Avs don't touch this one. They just got rid of a diva, don't see them wanting on spend 4x as much on another one

 

[TheOrangeDesk]

You make no sense

sorry you're not able to understand basic concepts like expiring contracts

 

[Avs44]

Doesn't make any sense. The only world in which the Avs do this is if Rantanen's contract demands are so exorbitant (i.e. an average way above Pettersson's 11.6 million) that they can't afford him -- but if that's the case then his demands are probably too high for Vancouver, too. Anyways, absolute wouldn't touch this as an Avs fan. Much rather they invest in Rantanen at this point -- and I'm more than comfortable with Mitts as the #2 center right now.
