According to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff, the Hurricanes have acquired star winger Mikko Rantanen from the Colorado Avalanche.
Seravalli reports that Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Martin Necas are part of the return heading to the Avalanche.
Still sorting out details, but sounds like both Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Martin Necas are going to #GoAvsGo from #RaiseUp as part of the trade for Mikko Rantanen.
Again, very complex deal and trade call has not yet been conducted.— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) January 25, 2025Rantanen is a 28-year-old pending unrestricted free agent who has spent the entirety of his career in Colorado since going 10th overall in the 2015 draft.
