Finnish NHL star Mikko Rantanen28, was one of the most talkative players in last Friday’s NHL transfer limit.
Carolina tried to hold on to the player she bought from Colorado in the middle of the season, but the club and the player did not agree on the future.
In the end, Carolina traded a Finnish Dallas Stars, where Rantanen signed an eight -year extension during the trading phase.
Carolina also offered Rantanen a long agreement, but the man in Nousiainen did not crash his name on the contract paper.
Rantanen was another big Hurricanes angling for two seasons, who did not continue with the club.
Last season the club acquired Jake Guentzel Pittsburgh Penguins. The Yankee Pier played great in Carolina, but walked to Tampa Bay’s wounds in the summer as a free agent.
Hurricanes head coach Rod brind’amour Has told more details of Rantanen and in the big picture of the entire Carolina case.
– There have been no players who would have gone here because I didn’t like to be here – except Mikko. He said there are four teams where he wants to play and we’re not one of them, Brind’amour said the local radio Canes Corner program.
The coach also believed that Rantanen’s decision did not influence the reasons for hockey.
– I understand it was about his loved ones. This place just didn’t fit him. I appreciate he told us about it. We must have known this before he was acquired, he spun.
Rantanen himself said that the cause was not related to the game itself, but rather to the community.
– I also wanted to think about my life outside the trough. Carolina has a really good team, but Dallas felt like the best for me. I talked a lot about my backing troops and my spouse Susanna With, he explained to TSN.
If Rantanen’s start in Raleig was difficult in the light of the results, Gentzel, who left the club last summer, was fantastic.
Guentzel fired Sebastian Aho With Carolina, including the playoffs in Carolina, a total of 28 matches of 34 power points in 28 matches.
Even so, Guentzel left the company. Guentzel chose Florida’s warm climate and Tampa Bay Lightning.
Brind’amour revealed in the program that this is where the club was.
– Guentzel’s case was the opposite. If we had offered a big deal for him, he would have stayed here. For some reason we didn’t do it. But it’s a different conversation.
Carolina got a young star player from Rantanen Logan Stankoventhe beginning of the hurricane shirts was strong. He struck in his opening match when Carolina overthrew the Winnipeg of the entire series K.
Dallas will only play his next match on Saturday night Finnish time.
