Rumor: Rantanen Extension is Close???

[LOFIN]

Let's see here...

- Rants and Drai have the same agent
- Their current contracts expire at the end of this season
- Drai re-upped for 14M/year in September
- Mikko waits and people say he's going to get even more money for waiting because the cap is "skyrocketing"

So in the end the Avs will end up paying him more than they'd have paid him in September. As a result, they won't be able to use that extra cap space on other players such as Drouin and/or much needed depth. Isn't it wonderful?

Gotta love it how you suck everything balls deep that Seravalli gives you, better than most women.

Seravalli has nothing to do with that comment. Literally zero.

Just putting this out there as the supposed "closeness" Jesse references (if accurate) for a Rantanen extension sorta surprised me

Welp, this aged well. Lock 'er up.

It's actually closer than ever now. It's just that it's with the Canes and not our Avs.

As much as I despise Jesse and want to mock him, it's pretty easy to see that the Drai contract f***ed up whatever progress they made in the Mikko talks.

Plus the cap potentially jumping as much as it may didn't help either.

I'm surprised there are so many people surprised that Mikko chased the money.

That was still a month and a half after they were reportedly close.

Drai is a much better player, not sure he would be a comparable to rantanen

Tell that to Rantanen's agents.
