but yes, he is gonna sign one with your team, whomever they are, with no time to negotiate + forgo a UFA market where he is likely to get $15m+.

Rantanen is in the mercenary stage of his career and he is going to the highest bidder in July
 
Lol, absolutely not. Tkachuk was an RFA, Rantanen is a UFA. Why would a team pay a significant price now to get him for 8 years, if they can get him to sign for 7 years without any asset cost in 4 months?
 
It sounds like he's very picky about where he signs, so even a sign and trade probably won't return an astronomical amount.

I was assuming this topic was a trade deadline type of thing if carolina cant get him signed, off season maybe a 2nd or third.

But the CBA says 8 years is available to any player if you are on said roster by the deadline

So? 7x15 > 8x13.

and?

Why risk it, you can guarantee he would get 15 AAV?
show me that guarantee

Colorado sent him packing. Carolina might not be offering what he wants or geographically undesirable for him.

I believe he has a destination in mind and we may see him sign for less.

This is only my opinion, with it being equally or more likely to go with the highest bidder lol

He got his cup, now, go get the bag
 
Can you guarantee he won't? Why risk leaving money on the table?

Ummm he's risking leaving money on the table thinking the market is going to make up the 15% in your said example

we';ve seen it before and it backfired immensely

His last deal was for 6 years in COL. Completely ignored the 8 and even 7 there. His agent obviously plays hardball.

Ummmm that gets you to UFA quicker
that's not hardball
that basic negotiating

LOLOL
 
He’s honestly not that good without MacK and Makar. I don’t think teams are willing to pay a premium for him after watching him stink it up in Carolina

It won't be money.

"at least 100 mil offer" - all experts.

Weekes - over 13 mil, under 14.

It'll be because he just doesn't want to play there.

Production and advanced stats from the previous 9 years in times without MacKinnon and Makar would disagree with you
