Mikko Rantanen traded to the Stars with a $96M contract

Good. The nonsense is finally over!

Mikko Rantanen has been traded and has FINALLY agreed to the terms of a new contract with the Dallas Stars.

We’re talking about an eight-year deal at $12 million per season. That gives a total of $96 million for the duration of the contract:

Mikko Rantanen and the Dallas Stars are closing in on an extension

8 years, $12M AAV. Would get the deal done.

Mikko Rantanen to Dallas, it made a lot of noise since last night.

But what was complicated was the negotiation of his new contract. Rantanen had big salary demands and ultimately, he managed to find common ground with his new team.

He will have only passed through Carolina, so…

After spending the majority of his career in Colorado, the forward now finds himself in Dallas.

Do I need to remind you that the Stars and the Avalanche are in the same division? It’s going to be interesting in the playoffs in the coming years!

More details to come…
