A huge surprise was found on the list of our informant Renaud revealed Tuesday as the March 7 trade deadline in the National Hockey League (NHL) approached.
Colorado Avalanche superstar Mikko Rantanen’s name was No. 20 on the 25-player list, which ranks everyone from most to least likely to be traded. .
Rantanen will be able to achieve full autonomy this summer and we can guess that the Finn, who already receives an annual salary of $9.25 million, will be extremely greedy.
If the Avalanche does not consider itself able to accommodate his demands, it could therefore be inclined to extract the maximum of its value on the transaction market instead of letting it slip away on July 1.
Rantanen, 28, has amassed no less than 58 points, including 24 goals, in 41 games so far this season. He ranks third among NHL scorers.
His trade would have the effect of a real bombshell knowing that the Avalanche are ranked ninth in the overall National League standings at the time of writing these lines.
