Sebastian Aho or Mikko Rantanen?

[SeanMoneyHands]

Who would you take if you were starting a new team today? Only a year apart, both step it up in the playoffs. Rantanen can also play center very well.

They are very similar stat wise so ill take the taller and fatter Rantanen for the playoffs.

Typically I go C over W but Mikko is the better player imo so I will go with him. And Mikko can sort of, kind of play C which helps.

Both step it up in the playoffs?

Going ghost in the playoffs is Ahos biggest weakness.

In this case Rantanen

I’ve probably watched his every playoff game.
I can’t say Aho has reached the true tier of a superstar, around ppg for the regular season and doesn’t evelate his game for playoffs.

Eastern finals vs Boston, last year on the road.

I’m a Finn and I wish he took that next step in the playoffs but so far like every other top guy in Carolina he hasn’t.
Not having that true superstar is Carolinas biggest weakness in the playoffs.


Edit.

2 assists in 6 road games, 9 points in 7 home games last year.


Rants is just more proven in the playoffs and he has a clearly higher offensive ceiling as of today

He's been Colorado's MVP this season also. I used to think it was Aho but Rantanen isn't showing signs of slowing down.

He’s a total monster

Rantanen gets it done no matter what the situation. Top 10 in playoff PPG is fantastic.
