Am I the only one thinking this board is far too optimistic in Rantanen's next contract. I'm seeing numbers like 9 and 10 passed around. If he scores what he's on pace to score (I don't think he will but this is hypothetical) how does Mikko not try to make himself the highest paid player in hockey?
He's on pace for 139 points. The most points any active NHL player has scored in. season is 125.
I mean it's a good problem to have, but the fact is if Mikko manages to top 125 points it means he just had a better season than any active player in the league has ever had. That would be following a 84 point season as a sophomore. If things keep moving forward the way they're going now Mikko has no reason not to become the highest paid player in the NHL.
