Pasta got 6,6 mil. Gotta think Rants gets something like that.
That's way too little. He won't get less than $8M.Pasta got 6,6 mil. Gotta think Rants gets something like that.
That would be some discount.The way things are going Mikko will be one of the best players in the game when he signs an extension.Pasta got 6,6 mil. Gotta think Rants gets something like that.
I wouldn’t either. But for cap purposes I hope that doesn’t happenIf Mikko hits 90 this season I'd have no problem going as high as 10M for 8 years.
Might be a homer thought but I kind of feeling the same way. We have a good young tight group so I wouldn't be surprised to see him take a bit of a discount.Could see him signing something like 8x8. Don’t think he will go to the 10m territory.
No way he signs that contract if he goes 90-100 points this season. I mean if he takes only 8million it will be 5-6 years. And what ever the dollar amount will be I think his contract will be most likely 6-7 years.Could see him signing something like 8x8. Don’t think he will go to the 10m territory.
I don't really care what salary he gets. He'll get paid whatever the market and the negotiation process determine.
What I'm here to say is this: there's a great quote from the Lord of the Rings that applies to Rantanen.
Gandalf says: "The Ents are going to wake up...and find that they are strong."
Since last season I've been saying that quote in my head whenever I watch Rantanen. Until now he's played mostly as a finesse player, but in the last two games in particular, he's started to really use his size, and I think he's starting to realize how much easier the game is and how much more effective he is when he uses his body to push people around and protect the puck. If he can keep this up, it could be the beginning of superstardom for him, because with his combination of size, speed and skill there are very few teams in the league who can consistently stop both him and MacKinnon. Even watching his post-game interview just now, he seems to have matured quite a bit since last season and his confidence and assertiveness are noticeably stronger.
Last season was all about MacKinnon finally figuring it out. I'm starting to think this season will be about Rantanen challenging MacKinnon for the title of best player on the team.

Is Mikko really that much better than last season? Last season this topic would have been full of ranting and blasting but now the tone has changed
