Yaremchuk: “The opposite one I desired to ask you about. And listen, it’s type of just been percolating during the last couple of days. And it was an Ask DFO yesterday as well that we didn’t get to from Adam.
But Rod Brind’Amour, more type of airing dirty laundry within the media with the Rantanen thing. Then Rantanen’s agent went on Sportsnet yesterday and was like, ‘Nope, he’s misinformed.’
I don’t know find out how to frame this as a smoke or fire, so can I just put it on a tee for you? What do you make of the disagreement here?”

Seravalli: “I’d say that the easiest way I can frame the Mikko Rantanen situation is that, nearly everyone in this whole entanglement is unhappy, aside from the Dallas Stars. Slightly bit unhappy, right?
So the Colorado Avalanche, they should move on from Mikko Rantanen they usually’re probably not joyful about that. Then you definately’ve got the Carolina Hurricanes, who we’ve been saying and significant of them for some time that they don’t have a game breaker. They finally exit and get one, they make their big play and push put the franchise record contract on the table, and he slips through their hands like sand. So that they’re unhappy. They’ve got to trade their game breaker.
Then you definately’ve got Mikko Rantanen who finally ends up with, I do know he results in a spot where he likes in Dallas and clearly picked, but still finally ends up with eight years and $96 million. Definitely nothing to sneeze at, but probably could have gotten somewhat near that and stayed in Colorado. So he’s got a tinge of unhappiness also, having bounced to those different places in between and, and the being the focus in all of it has probably been really uncomfortable for him. So he’s unhappy.
After which, through all of that, the Colorado Avalanche find yourself with Rantanen of their division, so that they’re unhappy much more so. They’ve got to stare down the moose for the subsequent nine playoff runs. That’s tough.
What’s the most effective option to frame the Brind’Amour situation? And I’ve heard people ask me this query before, which has been, is he not in lockstep together with his front office? The reply to that isn’t any, an entire false alarm.
Nevertheless, there’s definitely a difference of opinion when it comes to how these two sides, the Rantanen camp and the Carolina Hurricanes, view the situation. They got permission to check with him before the trade from Colorado to Carolina. Now, the Rantanen camp would say, and there, his agent, Andy Scott has been unequivocal in saying that they told the Hurricanes that their focus was on remaining in Colorado.

The Canes imagine that they got a solution that said, if we make the trade, that yes, you could be on a relative short-list of teams where he would consider signing. Which one is correct? Only those two sides know, and clearly there’s differences of opinion when it’s he said, he said.”
