Good thing we didn’t trade for him. Cancel that $12m deal and let him walk like Marner.
Ya but what were his defensive DOMSRantanen still basically personally dragged his team to victory in two playoff series.
Which none of our guys have ever managed to do in even a single playoff series in ten years.
Had a hot 5 games in the playoffs doubt he produces like he did with the AvsRantanen is easily worth his deal. The one concern for Dallas is they need to add to their D going forward and used big assets on Rantanen
If you think Rantanen is a waste of money just wait and see Sam Bennett next season.Had a hot 5 games in the playoffs doubt he produces like he did with the Avs
Not a waste , but not worth 12 milIf you think Rantanen is a waste of money just wait and see Sam Bennett next season.
Rantanen for 12 million of a 120+ million dollar cap in 3-4 years is going to be a steal.
I don't think some of y'all quite get where the money is about to go in this league.
e.g. Makar will need a new deal in 27-28

Get knies done for 8x8Mack's deal was 15.09% of the cap. Cap is expected to be 113.5M for 27-28. If Makar gets something in that Mack range....16-17M AAV
The numbers are going to be real big soon, and if we (or anyone) can go hard now and get who they want locked up for the next 5+ years at numbers that seem a bit heavy under today's cap, just fucking do it.
It had already started a little bit, with some teams just not able to get to the cap in the 80's, but it's going to turn into a more common thing over the next few seasons. 2027-28 has an expected max of 113.5 and a min cap of 83.9 million. That's a big spread.

A 30/30 (let's not be pedantic and say 29/29) power forward who is 22 is the type of player you pay a premium to make sure he is locked up during his prime (and the contract ends when he likely starts to fall apart).A bit rich for my tastes considering his role and production so far, but there are worse ways to spend the money.
