Mikko Rantanen
Don't care if he was playing for the Rampage, he's the organization's MVP
I could get behind that.
The guy is magical. Just wait until he does it in burgundy.

This was my thinking.Nobody. Nobody earned it, IMO.
Beauchemin. Played all 82 games, career high in points, top-10 in the league in ice-time. Was tasked with playing alongside EJ against other teams' top lines, and when Zadorov came up he was called upon to be the calming vet beside him. He did it all for this team. He tailed off the last ~25% of the year, but that was to be expected given his age and how much Roy was using him. But Beauchemin is the teams MVP.
And that's unacceptable. There are 6 players on this team who should be ahead of him on that list.
FB to me just cements the fact we need to bring in another actual NHL defensemen. Even a middle of the pack talent wise D guy would help tremendously.

Dean didn't ruin him. Roy will probably start slow with Rantanen, he probably won't be top 6 to start. I really don't know what the next step in the desperation escalator is.
I thought you meant general bad coaching. You mean just not playing him, I don't think they we that dumb, they know he's going to have to need a big role sooner than later. I don't expect it to happen at the start though.
I fully expect him to be in a bottom-6 role at centre to start next season and it absolutely is the wrong thing to do. But Roy gonna Roy

Is it bad i'm scared of Roy ruining him?
I know he has a great track record with young players, but he'll be feeling pressure next year if the Avs don't have a good start and Rantanen could easily be regulated to the bottom 6 and forced to play safe.
