Rumor: Rantanen Extension is Close???

[LOFIN]

Considering how injury prone/retired/suspended our entire top9 is besides Mikko and Mack good luck if Mikko is gone

When has Mikko ever been injured... You get what you pay for, hes on the ice week after week.

I mean Mikko was injured quite a lot earlier in his career, but so much of that was bad luck TBH.

We don't necessarily need a Top-10 goalie in the league. We'd be fine with a guy who's in the 15 to 25 range... as long as they are just consistent.

Yeah well, we can sign a guy like Lankinen next year for 6x5 and then he might bomb out and become the next Jack Campbell.

Not sure where you're getting this from but ok.

Getting what? That the goalie market is a f***ing craphshoot?

It doesn't take a doctors degree to figure that one out.

After the game in Dallas just give Mikko whatever he wants and trade Mack. Problem solved.

Where did his absolute beast of skating from last year went? He looks so pedestrian and non lethal out there.

The real MVP this season has been Mikko.
He scores and gets the points. He's not as quick or flashy as Mack and usually Nate is the superior player, but not this season.
I don't really understand the hate this guy gets. Even when he gets a hattrick people bounce on him lol.
I've seen people say that he's lazy, but what does that even mean? A lazy player once again on pace for 40+ goals and 100+ points...

Even 12 seems awful high to me. I understand no one else really cares what it looks like 2+ years down the line, but for some dumb reason, I do.

Does 12 seem high though? From 20/21-24/25 he's 4th in points(behind McDavid, Mack, and Drai) and and 4th in goals league wide(behind Matthews, Drai, McDavid). So over a prolonged period of time he and his agent have a very good argument to keep him in the same area as essentially the same neighborhood as the highest contracts in the league. I wouldn't want to pay him 14 if he gets to UFA, but he has every argument going for him to essentially get whatever he wants.
