As a Habs fan, I don't think that's make sense for us : We already having Caufield, Slafkovsky, Demidov and Laine as our wingers for the next upcoming years. We need more a centerman than a winger.
He’s not coming to MTL let it go
LAINE – RANTANEN – ARMIA LETSSSSS GOOOOO HABSSSS
Why would he want to go anywhere else? Avs are not letting him walk lol. Im sure the avs are waiting to see how much the cap is going up by and get some clarity on Gabriel Landeskog.
Too much money. There’s a salary cap. They already have 3 players over 7k. Hutson will get a huge contract. Demidov is coming next year.
Theres 0 chance that is even possible
Maybe 13mil, but definitely not 14. And definitely wouldn't trade away hard assets for him, and pay him that salary. Would be a stupid move.
Dream on
i think that would be a great pick up for the habs. love to get this guy back east. my son lives in montreal was given a seat at his company's suite for tomorrow night's game against the TBL. he's a canuck fan but loves going to habs games for the atmosphere.
I don't often agree with George Laraque's takes, but I think he's right on this. The money won't work.
I'd love to see Rantanen come out of Mackinnon and Makars shadow
If those F'N snailsniffin fiveday frogs get Mico 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Alot of what ifs in this video. What if there was no hard salary cap? Then Montreal might have a shot a Rantanen, and be able to keep all their good young players too. But its not going to happen, its a dream you can only live out on nhl 25 or whatever version you're currently using.
Please for the love of god get me this man, It would be such a great fit.
Wow, $14 million is a lot of money to invest in one player. I'd be inclined to spend it on multiple players coming up the system.
You're a bait clicking moron.
im a finn and have noticed finns dont win cups…..lets go devils….habs take haula too
