The Carolina Hurricanes got some clarity from Mikko Rantanen
Pierre LeBrun: League sources are saying that the Carolina Hurricanes received some clarity from Mikko Rantanen’s reps that he won’t be ready to make a decision regarding a contract extension by the deadline on Friday.
The Hurricanes are talking to other teams about what they might give up for Rantanen. The Hurricanes will then have to determine if they want to keep him as their own rental and weigh that against any trade offers they get.
Darren Dreger: “Good luck defining who’s in and who’s out involving the possibility of a Rantanen trade. The Hurricanes are working on options. Multiple teams are in the mix. Trade and extension is absolutely on the table. However, no guarantee at this moment Carolina pulls trigger.”
David Pagnotta: Have been told from multiple sources that the Florida Panthers are one of the teams that have shown serious interest in Rantanen.
Sportsnet 590 The FAN: Friedman on Rantanen: “No one has been given permission to talk to him, but a signed Rantanen could give the Hurricanes a good trade… Teams are willing to take him on as a rental, but does that appeal to Carolina?”
David Pagnotta: For the right team, Mikko Rantanen is open to signing a contract extension in a sign and trade.
“It’s one option believed to be available in a fluid situation and would help maximize a return for Carolina. Everything seems to be on the table, including Canes keeping him.”
- Jim Biringer: “Spoke to some people about this throughout the week and only way Devils would make a trade for Rantanen need guarantees he signed. Rantanen is exactly what NJ needs & he would thrive in that system. Be similar to Colorado. But Carolina would want a lot in return. “
