Sounds like Mikko and his agent were playing hardball for an extra $500k-1.5M and the Avs called the bluff. Sad all around.

I'm not sad

We've got Martin Necas out there busting his ass every shift and killing it offensively

Mikko got that bag but its heavy

100%. I am optimistic for this season, but also was looking forward to 96 in the rafters. Now its just bad and all because Mikko wanted an extra $500k-1.5M just to settle for what we offered. Blah.

Rantanan is back in form playing on a team he wants to be on.

And people thought he permamently regressed? Lol he's too good for that.

I don’t think many thought he’d regressed.

Most have seen his lackluster game-to-game effort with the Avs and wondered if it would be adjusted since he couldn’t rely on his comfortable position within the organization after the trade. That didn’t happen in Carolina by the sounds of it, but could also have extenuating factors such as stress and comfort within the canes.

Jury is still out how he translates in Dallas but it looks like he’s had a good start.

And just a little louder for the people in the back - even if Rantanen is lights out amazing in Dallas - only giving a full effort for a team you want to play for IS NOT A GOOD TRAIT AS A PERSON
