I can’t believe the Avs traded Rantanen. A top 5 in the world player who actually produces in the playoffs. Marty Necas is good but not on the same level. canes got way better overnight.

That being said, they also saddled themselves to the biggest loser in the league. You don’t succeed with Taylor Hall. Nobody ever has. The guy just keeps proving me right. Just a massive loser.

Sounds like Rantanen wants to get paid. Like 13M+. He got his cup and this is his last shot to secure the next 4 generations of Rantanen’s. If he wasn’t at all interested in a team friendly deal, I can see why the avs did this. Helps us in our conference at least.

Basically, the same situation as Drai was in. You just gotta pay the guy. He’s worth it. So few guys the truly move the needle, you gotta keep them when you have them.

Top 5 in the world?? You are going to see how wrong you are about Rantenen now that he won't be playing next to Mackinnon. Any team that pays him like a superstar is going to regret it for a long time but hopefully someone does.

Comparing him to Draisaitl is hillarious. Not in the same universe.

I don't think it's as crazy as you think. He's not at the same level, but it's not a massive drop off. Over the last 5 years, he's fourth in scoring behind McD, Draisaitl & Mackinnon. He's 5th in goals (Matthews, Draisaitl, McDavid, Pastrnak), 11th in assists, 8th in points per game (McD, Kuch, MacK, Drai, Matthews, Marner, Panarin ahead). He's 3rd in TOI/game for forwards (MacKinnon & McDavid ahead). 9th in shots. 6th in +/- (3rd among forwards).

I think there's definitely an argument that he's been a top-five player in the world. At worst, he's been top-10.

Top 5 forward perhaps. Not a top 5 player. Realistically I think he’s the 3rd most important player on Colorado behind MacKinnon and Makar.

I have McDavid, Draisaitl, MacKinnon, Kucherov, J. Hughes, Makar, Hellebuyck, Shesterkin, Matthews ahead of him.

Clean house or bust
