The Carolina Hurricanes have a trade agreement in place to send winger Mikko Rantanen to the Dallas Stars, dependent on Rantanen signing a contract extension. As the negotiations approach a critical deadline, Rantanen, who has previously declined an extension from Carolina, is reportedly interested in a long-term deal mirroring the $14 million annual contract of Leon Draisaitl. With a standout season behind him, including 27 goals this year and a career-high 55 goals last season, Rantanen's performance plays a crucial role in the ongoing discussions.
The Hurricanes have negotiated a trade deal to send Mikko Rantanen to the Stars, contingent on Rantanen signing a contract extension before the trade deadline.
Sources indicate that the trade talks between Rantanen's camp and the Stars center on a potential eight-year contract extension worth around $14 million annually.
Rantanen has been hesitant to make decisions regarding his future, which has prompted the Hurricanes to explore multiple offers from different teams.
With 27 goals and 70 points this season, Rantanen is a top asset; his previous achievements raise the stakes during negotiations ahead of the deadline.
