This is likely to spark widespread discussion in the National Hockey League and ignite the imaginations of many fans.
Mikko Rantanen, 28 years old, 6 foot 4 tall, and weighing 215 pounds, is one of the top forwards in the entire National Hockey League.

He is currently earning $9.25 million per year and will become an unrestricted free agent next July unless he signs an extension.
In terms of points per 82 games over the past five seasons for Rantanen, his production has been as follows: 113 points, 107 points, 105 points, 101 points, and 104 points.
This is truly outstanding.
