Rumor: Rantanen Extension is Close???

[UnkleKraker]

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

The only real question here is it a happy beginning or a happy ending?

Happy beginning is just a fancier way of saying prostitution.

You had me at prosti...

A small Finnish article on Rantanen today. Nothing significant. Negotiations for an extension have been started, but haven't really intensified yet. He's having an emphasis on speed with his summer training, because that's the way the game is going. Also trying to prepare for a long season, to stay as healthy as possible.

I'll only believe this if Ismo confirms it.

They didn't mean what kind of speed, Rants is teaching himself how to smoke 4-5 darts at a time to maximize those carcinogens.

efficiency is key

Sorry guys... Speed is actually a term for Methamphetamines. I'm afraid he's trying to outdo Nuke.

The speed he gets to the buffet table at, am I right?

It was close, now it’s still early

I'm glad to hear Mikko's working on his speed. I think that will benefit him tremendously.

When he's off his game, he has an issue with turnovers, and a lot of that stems from his own willingness to slow the game down, and play off the contact, because of his size.

That's great to have in your back pocket when you need it, especially in the playoffs, but in today's game, especially the regular season, you need to outstate the contact, or you'll get trapped by good defensive systems, and turn the puck over.

Every season over the last 10 years or so, separation speed has gotten more, and more important in the NHL.

The extra speed should benefit Mikko's game, because he has the vision, and talent to play a high skill game, at a high speed, which has become very rare for player's his size.

Wheezing the juice

Wheezing the juice

No wheezing the juice!

I'll be honest the idea of Mikko being fleet of foot while still falling over like newborn Bambi every three seconds sounds like it would be kind of funny to watch.

If Rants was truly dedicated he'd be running practices now in Denver.

Blazing speed, amazing edges, falls when there’s no reason to

8x10.96 would be phenomenal..

 

[Balthazar]

He's going to sign 8 X 12M for 96M. That's his number, that's slightly below Mack, that's what makes sense.

 

[The Abusement Park]

8x10.96 would be phenomenal..

That would be an absurd discount.

 

[Ceremony]

It'll be 12.96 and you'll all go nuts.

 

[BobRossColton]

That would be an absurd discount.

Oh absolutely.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

It'll be 12.96 and you'll all go nuts.

3 years at 12.96. Two more years while the window is open. Then trade him and Makar at the deadline in 2027.
