Value of: Rantanen - what would you give?

[HuGort]

i Mean the Avs think he should be moved so what do you give for him?

He wants to test UFA. Why not wait til then instead of giving up the moon

 

[anezthes]

I would consider a package around Zegras/Terry + Zellweger for a signed Rantanen.

No.

 

[JoeSakic13]

My right nut.

No chance I’d give up Lefty tho.

Why would Colorado move him what am I missing? Love that guy

Salary cap is a thing

So they would give him up for cheap if someone would offer a lot? Like Montreal could have him for a 2nd round pick, but only if we offered Demidov + Hutson?

Is this like a King Solomon situation where they are willing to let him go free to a good home, but only if the new team shows how much they value him?

I meant McFarland would give rants for very cheap if someone offered mooning him (or georgiev)

Oh yea, that really clears it up..

Avs are in a place of uncertainty with Landeskog and Nik. It's very unlikely they can improve as a team trading Rantanen.

Find a comparable option at a recent deadline. Maybe teams dont have the resources to give it, but there hasnt been a player of his caliber at a deadline ever that I can think of. Hossa in 08? Even then Rantanen now is way above Hossa then.

Hossa was far superior to him Rantanen plays in a much higher scoring era

 

[dirtydanglez]

very few teams could pull off a deal. nj is in a great position to land rantanen if he was available.

Rantanen is coming off back to back 100+ point season, has been very good in the playoffs (and won the Cup), and is generally considered one of the best wingers in the game today. If the Avs decide to do something stupid and trade him, why would they use either of these two guys as a comparable, when Horvat was a 2C and Meier only has a single career season where he's even come close to being PPG?

Because he’s still a rental who wants to explore UFA. A non-playoff team isn’t going to give you that, because it’ll derail their rebuild if(when) he walks, and a playoff team isn’t going to remove anything important for a Cup run, or remove too much futures if he walks. Rentals simply don’t pull much of a return if the player isn’t going to re-sign.
