Eric Engels Believes Canadiens Would Go All-In for Mikko Rantanen if He Ever Hits the Market
We have an update regarding the rumors surrounding Colorado Avalanche elite forward Mikko Rantanen. According to what was just reported by Sportsnet analyst Nick Kypreos, things are getting serious in this matter.
Three teams have even gone as far as to submit serious offers in an attempt to acquire one of the top 10 players in the world.

All of this is due to the fact that the Avalanche has not been able to come to terms with Rantanen on a contract extension, and Colorado could potentially lose him for nothing next summer.
They have to make a big decision on this matter, and quickly.
Mikko Rantanen: Eric Engels believes the Canadiens would do anything to sign him next summer.
«Just my opinion, but I think the Canadiens would back up a Brink's truck to Mikko Rantanen's door if he ever hit the market.» - Eric Engels

You read that right.
"The two sides are not close to an agreement. They are more than a million dollars apart, maybe even two million. Rantanen's name is circulating, and if these contract negotiations don't progress quickly, he will become one of the most important targets on the trade market this season," Kypreos stated.
This is certainly a major story to watch closely.
Mikko Rantanen, 28 years old, 6 feet 4 inches, and 215 pounds, is one of the top forwards in the entire National Hockey League.
The 10th overall pick in 2015 (1st round) has an impressive 62 points in 46 games this season, including 25 goals, after collecting 104 points and 105 points in the past two seasons.
He is currently earning $9.25 million per year and will be a free agent next July, unless he signs a contract extension.
