Rumor: Rantanen Extension is Close???

Not necessarily, it would depend how they would choose to use his current $9.25M in cap space that he currently occupied.

They won't be getting anything that replaces a 100+ player

As much crap as Mikko gets here he is an elite talent regular season or playoffs. There is no UFA signing that will do better or an equal trade target either.

Best case scenario if he walks. They spend the money brilliantly to fix the roster holes and become a deeper team. That plan only works though if CMac really delivers and lets just say I don't have any faith there.

In other words, it doesn't work.

Also no chance that this is the goalie tandem they start the season with.

No chance is hard to say. A trade of Colton or Girard takes care of the problem. Also, Landeskog might not be back.

Why is Rantanen the first to go?
