The trade that saw the superstar dealt to Carolina sent shockwaves through the league and up and down the Colorado franchise.

Colorado Avalanche general manager Chris MacFarland said it was a "tough business decision" to trade star winger Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes

After one of the biggest in-season acquisitions since the New Jersey Devils acquired Ilya Kovalchuk for a massive haul in the 2009-10 season, more information has begun trickling out regarding Mikko Rantanen and the Carolina Hurricanes.

The massive three-team trade that sent Mikko Rantanen to Carolina and Martin Necas to Colorado was about two key choices those teams had to make. Elliotte Friedman writes about why the deal happened now,

The deal sees Mikko Rantanen and Taylor Hall go to Carolina and Martin Necas, Jack Drury and draft picks head to Colorado. Chicago gets its own 2025 third-round pick back and takes on half of Rantanen's $9.

Chris MacFarland said Mikko Rantanen’s pending free agency, need for more depth were biggest factors in seismic move.

The Colorado Avalanche stunningly traded Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night, and he was reportedly blindsided.

Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky says his team is not as financially "contrained" as it was last season, expressing his desire to sign newly acquired Mikko Rantanen to a long-term contract extension.

As part of Will Borgen’s deal, he has a no-movement clause the rest of 2024-25, then partial trade protection for most of the rest of the deal, per a source. 2025-26: Full no-trade 2026-27: 15 team no-trade lost 2027-28: 10 team NT list 2028-29: 6 team NT list 2029-30: none https://t.co/3U6lQ3NKw6

Following a trade that sent Mikko Rantanen from the Colorado Avalanche to the Carolina Hurricanes, who else might have an unexpected deal in the works?

Friday’s blockbuster between Colorado and Carolina served one serendipitous purpose for the NHL. And that was shifting the focus off a week of officiating scandalous even by league standards.
