Rumor: Rantanen Extension is Close???

[sethro109]

I'm sure we will get to Rantanen once we can get Georgiev's 8 year deal locked in.

I know this is a joke, but this is a good excuse to get in my hot take: I don't think they plan to extend Georgiev. If he stays it's because we're deep into UFA period without a new starter.

That’s certainly not a hot take.

I don’t think anybody expects Georgiev to get a new contract and stick around as an Av beyond this season.

The org will do the usual 2nd or 3rd round pick trade for a reclamation project or somebody’s disgruntled backup.

and we're gonna be mad he's a bottom tier goalie.

Oh that’s a guarantee.

There is a slight difference between the caliber of player here.

Meier is not in any way, shape or form comparable to the Moose. Night and day difference, really.

Again hence why you'd add pieces to the Meier deal. But that type of trade would be what Mikko would get back at this point, a haul of picks and prospects and a some depth pieces.

Are we talking 12.5 or 15?

On other words meh. Might as well ride this core to sunset with Mikko.

Playing a dangerous game with the contract situation. If Rantanen walks the team is taking a clear step back.

Correct. Everyone saying trade Mikko is expecting getting some big win now pieces but that isn’t happening mid season with 5 months left on his contract. It’ll be a couple firsts, a big name prospect, another decent prospect, a ~middle 6 winger(or equivalent dman) and some later round picks. That’s what to expect in a Mikko trade if it were to happen.

Woah, you need to lower those expectations.

You expect that for a few months of Mikko Rantanen?

Ya that's way too much for a rental even if it's Rants.

I agree. Probably first, top prospect and then some whatever leftovers.

I'm basing it like the Meier trade. Meier got a 1st, a 2nd, a 7th, 2 meh middle 6 wingers, a decent D prospect and another Dman prospect. Tbf I didn't take into conseideration that Meier was an RFA vs Mikko who would be a UFA which definitely would change things. So yeah that would definitely be too much if he's being brought in as a pure rental.
