Apparently the gap is quite large still.
Rantanen wants something similar to Marner and the Avs brass feel they can offer 2 million less.
Not going to happen. They better pay up if they know what is good for them. I can't think of anything missing in Rantanens game.
The one thing that has always bothered me , is his skating. Whiles it's gotten 10X better in the 3 years he's played. I've always compared him to bambi on ice. I'm not sure if it's just his Finnish diving roots tho
I also hate things playing out this late but if sakic signs him for anything less then 10 mil and for more then 6+ years, he wins this hold out. I bet a deal gets done for 7 years @ 9.5. comparables only go so far and sakic knows he can't end up like dubas. He's got Makar, Landy and Mack to all give raises too in the next 4 years also.
That could be wishful thinking ofcourse and I understand that.
