Value of: Your Best Offer for Mikko Rantanen

[The Merchant]

So the Avs are in a bit of a pickle. Their top-6 is decimated by injuries, they're right up against the cap and Mikko is going to be looking for ~$13 million per on his lifetime contract. Avs fans are souring on his inconsistent effort level, but the guy is still considered a top-5 winger in his prime. His value as a rental decreases game by game for obvious reasons, so ideally a sign-and-trade would be in the cards. So, which teams need him and which ones can afford him?

The Avs would be looking for cheaper or cost-controlled impact players. It's also no secret that their goaltending is still a bit of a question mark, despite a solid showing by Justus Annunen so far.

Toss around your proposals for Mikko, be it as a rental or SAT, if possible.

This has all been discussed before. No one is going to offer anything close to what the Avs would need for it to make sense, because the teams that want him today don't have the assets, and the teams that have the assets aren't a Rantanen away from contending.
