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.
