Rumor: Rantanen Extension is Close???

I don't think this is happening anymore. Our team isn't exactly attractive at the moment. It feels like we are spinning wheels and he can choose more interesting locations.

I hope I am wrong. We made a mistake keeping him. This team isn't in position to lose this big asset for nothing. Same goes for Makar and MacK.

Give me a team that is more interesting, and would be willing to sign him for 14M+

Do we want him at that price?

I hate the salary cap.

Also, Milan Hejduk got screwed. He never made more than 4M in a season.

Now that I think about it, this is probably what's been driving my disdain for how much Mikko is going to get. Mikko's a much better player than Hejduk, but 10M/season better?

He still made $37M over his career...i'd love to be screwed like that

I always loved how dedicated Hejduk was. He even had a mini half ice rink made for his house.

I kinda agree. Following teams has become a calculation process and fans turn on players that make more than they should simply because it screws the cap structure.

You should be happy about player salaries rising. Unless you own a Hockey team I suppose.

You want higher salaries even as a owner. It usually means the league, the team is doing better and you can afford to pay them more.
