Elliotte Friedman reports that trade talks between the Dallas Stars and Carolina Hurricanes surrounding Mikko Rantanen are “headed down” the road.
It’s not known if an extension with the Stars is part of the deal, but Dave Pagnotta reported that Rantanen might be amenable to an extension with the Stars or the Florida Panthers.
Carolina preferred to sign Rantanen, but Rantanen’s camp made it clear this week that an extension with the club wasn’t in the works.
The return is unknown at this point, but one would have to believe that there is a significant roster piece going back to Carolina, who won’t be looking for a retool.
UPDATE: The trade is apparently agreed upon, pending Rantanen agreeing to an extension, which has not happened yet.
