“Western Conference Frenzy: Which Blockbuster Trades Could Shift the Playoff Landscape?”
The biggest fish of the NHL Trade Deadline was Mikko Rantanen. In January, Rantanen was traded from the Colorado Avalanche to the Carolina Hurricanes, but the fit was never there. He never wanted to go there and was never signing there, so Carolina traded him to the Dallas Stars. As part of the deal, Logan Stankoven went the other way.
It is hard for a player to get traded, but Rantanen got traded twice, not once. It took some time for him to find his footing in Dallas, but he has. Rantanen has 17 points (five goals and 12 assists) in 18 games. He is playing on a line with Wyatt Johnston and Jamie Benn. There is something there between those three.
