none of these stats matter until he starts scoring goals and the team starts winning. this team has been "analytical darlings" for years and years and years, with nothing to show for it besides being bounced in the 2nd/3rd round of the playoffs each year despite those "elite" analytics. only time will tell if RBA can get the "most" out of Rants, despite him being "due." everyone goes through it, yes, but this team is in a bad place right now and has been a .500 team since late November, i am holding my breath and remaining cautiously optimistic regarding Rants re-signing here.
if the offer was $100mil, that could/would have happened in Colorado, if Mikko was willing to accept that number. The offer has to be more than that, otherwise he would have stayed in CO.
I personally think Carolina made a mistake Rantanen is not the type of player that can fore check and fight for the puck he is struggling at it he gives up and never has won a battle since coming to Carolina coming and has not generated any goals not worth the money.
Its funny to me how many people say hes not a fit based off 7 games.
Rod is great at bringing out the best in mediocre players but he doesn’t get the best out of stars. None of our guys ever live up to the hype. We never have a top 10 scorer hell we don’t even have a top 50 scorer!
He has played well but it takes awhile to click. He will be fine.
If he doesn't take 13.5m x 8yrs with the Canes if that's what they offered, he made a mistake. Yes he may get an half a million or so more in free agency, but it may be with a team that's not constructed near as good as the Canes are.
Chicago for example could offer 14m but there no where as good as what the Canes are, or the Avs for that matter.
Careful what you wish for, money isn't everything, but apparently to some guys it is.
