The initiate actions failed the three -team superproduction trade involving Mitch Marner, Mikko Rantanen

Mikko Rantanen played in three teams this year, a rarity in the NHL for such a talented player. Rantanen, a real star, was treated on the deadline to prevent him from walking in a free agency. Then, to avoid it becoming a rental, it was treated again.

When the time has come for this second profession, the Hurricanes de la Caroline, who had acquired it several weeks earlier, rushed to find a good deal to compensate for the loss they took during negotiations for him in the first place.

Among these agreements they envisaged, there was an exchange involving Rantanen for Mitch Marner. The initiate of hockey James Mirtle said, via athletics:

“There have also been discussions around a Marner-to-Vegas transaction before the deadline for trade this year, a decision that would have involved the Hurricanes in an agreement to three.

This would have been a major exchange for three teams, but these talks may not have become very far from the ground. Mirtle said he was “clear” if Marner was invited to give up his non-exchange clause to go to Vegas.

In the end, the Hurricanes obtained Logan Stankuven, two first round choices and two third round choices of the Dallas stars for Rantanen.

Hurricane coach thanks Mikko Rantanen

Mikko Rantanen did not have an excellent race with the Hurricanes of Carolina, because he was blinded by his profession of the Avalanche du Colorado and did not want to sign an extension.

The rods separated from choice and from Necas Martin for Rantanen, but they then ended up with a lesser pack in exchange for the striker whom they initially paid. However, they could have finished well.

Necas probably left for a free agency and Rantanen did not stay either. Logan Stankoven, the centerpiece, played in the playoffs and signed an extension.

Head coach Rod Brind’amour said, via Bolavip, that Rantanen never said that he did not want to be in Caroline, but the coach knew what he felt:

“There is a larger background frame, but the point of everything is: Mikko made us a favor. It was not that he did not love us. Everything was just paid to him, he needed to take a break, and I understand. He made a decision and he actually helped us.”

He said that Rantanen had made them a player whom they thought of loved and, in the end, they really liked Logan Stankuven.
