Before exchanging Mikko Rantanen at the Hurricanes de la Caroline, the Colorado avalanche would have offered a last eight -year contract proposal to the attacker.
This is what the hockey expert in the Sportsnet Network Ellipotte Friedman has advanced on Saturday.
He said that the “AVS” proposed an agreement that would have allowed Rantanen to receive $ 11.75 million annually for the next eight campaigns.

-By accepting, the 28 -year -old Finnish would have become the best paid winger in the whole national league. The New York Artemi Panarin Rangers striker is currently making the most money, who touches $ 11.64 million per year.
It seems that the avalanche was not ready to offer more to Rantanen than to Center Nathan Mackinnon player. The number 29 affects $ 12.6 million per season.
Ultimately, the Colorado staff proposal was not sufficient for the one who could take advantage of its complete autonomy next summer. The avalanche therefore exchanged him in the Hurricanes in a transaction with three teams also involving the Chicago Blackhawks.
