Rumor: Rantanen Extension is Close???

[John Mandalorian]

So we're even closer now?

Teams around the league believe there is optimism? Optimism to whom? The teams around the league? Does this even make sense that teams around the league are overjoyed?

Does this mean the concract is so crippling when other teams are optimistic?

 

[RECKLESS]

Extension extendedly close.

As long as Rants does not ask more then Drai then the Avs should be just fine.

 

[katfude]

Today is the day!

Or possibly some other day!

Or maybe never!

 

[Bender]

We might need some sort of mathematical formula to truly determine just how close we are to having this extension in place...

8.5 seems fair for the lazy chain smoker. Get a deal done.

Rantanen’s contract or Landeskog’s comeback?

 

[henchman21]

Same vibes as MacK and Toews... and I'd expect a similar result. A deal signed somewhere in the start of camp to early October range. Would be some good PR to start off the season.

Good PR? You clearly don’t know your audience, henchy, cause this board is gonna handle things super well when Rantanen and his shiny new contract get bambi legs and give the puck away on his first shift in game 1

When is then now?

Closer than an hour ago???

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I wish I could be as excited about this contract as y'all.

I'm viewing it more like an ending than a beginning.

There is no ending, there is no beginning, there just is.

Very taoist of you.

Reminds me of something Winnie the Pooh would say.

"What day is it?" asked Pooh. "It's today." squeaked Piglet. "My favorite day," said Pooh.

And then he gets shot no? Or am I thinking of something else?

Pretty sure that Bamib's mom, bro.

Although if you dive into most children's tales and then follow them back to their earliest versions, you'll find stories that would probably get parents arrested today if they read them to children.

Would you trade Rants for Drai straight up?

 

[missionAvs]

Would you trade Rants for Drai straight up?

f*** yeah.

 

[AvsMakar08]

Would you trade Rants for Drai straight up?

Both are star players.

 

[BrickNHL]

Would you trade Rants for Drai straight up?

Who wouldn’t?!?

Only thing that would stop me is the contracts because I think Rants clearly likes Colorado and don’t know if Drai would re-sign
