Look, there's nothing that I'd rather do than do a freaking jig on the graves of the Colorado Avalanche. The Cha Cha Slide, a Moonwalk, and maybe even the Marcus Foligno-centric "Hot To Go" parody Nordy does on the Xcel Energy Center's Jumbotron.

Over the weekend, the Colorado Avalanche dealt Mikko Rantanen and address just one of the team's many problems.

Rumors link Rantanen to the Oilers, but is it realistic? Cap space, his new team, and market value say otherwise. Here's why fans shouldn’t get their hopes up.

Facing the prospect of Colorado’s star winger Mikko Rantanen becoming an unrestricted free agent after this season, general manager Chris MacFarland felt the timing was right to deal him away and bolster the Avalanche’s roster for the future.

The Carolina Hurricanes have acquired forwards Mikko Rantanen from the Colorado Avalanche and Taylor Hall from the Chicago Blackhawks in a three-team trade.

The clock is ticking on the Colorado Avalanche and star forward Mikko Rantanen to come to an agreement on a contract extension. With the 28-year-old set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of 2024-25, the Avalanche really have from now until the March 7 trade deadline to decide on Rantanen's long-term future with the club.

The Hurricanes, in their history, have never traded for an in-his-prime superstar like Mikko Rantanen. This changes everything.

Mikko Rantanen scored his first goal with the Carolina Hurricanes, helping them beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on Thursday night. Seth Jarvis and Jaccob Slavin also scored for the Hurricanes, who won for the sixth time in seven games.

Ahead of the Toronto Maple Leafs' game on Wednesday against the Minnesota Wild, there are reports of a heavy scout presence in the arena raising trade speculation.
