The cap situation is getting tighter by the day, but Mikko Rantanen will likely remain with the Colorado Avalanche.
Why Rantanen Will/Should Stay With Colorado
For the first time in his career, Rantanen is coming off back-to-back 100-point seasons, which may come as a surprise. If some recall, fans criticized Rantanen in spurts throughout last year for a supposed lack of effort. Some said there was a lack of locker room leadership and questioned whether Mikko was dealing with a secret injury. Ultimately, it’s a moot point because Rantanen still found the net 42 times this past season and added 62 assists, which was 12 more than he contributed from the previous year.
