Mikko Rantanen is going to sign a very long, very profitable contract in the near future, and he’s not worried that it hasn’t happened yet.
Rantanen has one year left on his current deal, with an average annual value of $9.25 million. He would become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 if he and the Colorado Avalanche do not come to an agreement before then.
“I think there’s been talks with my camp and the front office.
Denver Post reporters Parker Gabriel and Ryan McFadden are joined by columnist Troy Renck to break down the Broncos’ 0-2 start and what’s hurting the team’s anemic offense so far this season.
