Thank you for providing such great hockey to watch with the avalanche being my favorite and helping them win the cup! Best moment of my childhood/teenage years so far may have been seeing you guys win the cup in pure dominant avalanche-like fashion! I hope to see you back soon Rantanen!
@@mikescorpio13 if you think that’s the main reason, you’re sorely mistaken, cap space was eating them alive, they probably could’ve kept him, but to get a deal done would’ve cost pretty much most of their depth, and an NHL team without depth is a mid team, I don’t care what superstars you have on your team
He'll need to sign the standard 1-year vet min like everyone else and earn that extension like the rest of em trying to resuscitate their careers 😂 (kidding)
We have to do a lot right to win another cup… this might be the start of the end… I hope not. Necas is promising and is one of the few who can match Mack’s speed. Could turn into a sweet duo.. times change people
As a ave faithful i have seen many players come and go from peter, patrick and many other moose your a nother name to see gone it is hard to watch you leave best of luck with the new steps in life your always a avalanche
Avs traded him because at the end of the year his contract is up and Avs can’t pay him what he’s worth with the cap, so he’d leave anyway and the Avs would be left with nothing.
But what a mistake! You sold one of the best players in franchise history, but are you crazy??????? you have shattered the future of the club, I fear the worst in the months to come
stupid move. end of an era is here. it was fun while it lasted. I definitely think mikko wanted to stay. MacFarland sucks as gm. they should have just let him go
He was gone after this season anyways, his contract was up and we couldn’t afford him. So get something from him now, or he goes free in a few months and we get nothing
The Avs really fucked up here. Reading his response to being traded i definitely think he would've tried to work it out with us to stay this off season. This is one the Avs are gonna regret big time.
@soadfan1016 the avs had 12 million already available for this off season. They could've found a way to free up 2 million more. Trading away and getting rid of future hall of famers that are in there 20s rarely ends up well for the team doing it. In any sport.
@Jaster_Edits87 cale makars contract isn't up for another 3 off seasons. By then the cap will keep rising and more money will be freed up. As the great Phil Jackson once said "great teams make it happen". The Aves needed to retain mikko to keep there championship window open. Now your looking at this year being a wash it will be a learning year with the new players finding chemistry. Next year we'll see but they definitely fucked up letting a hall of famer walk like that.
@@JM-ju4uiThe 12 mil has already been allocated for a better player. Rantanen was never resigning. Ever. This was clear some time ago. If you want to blame someone, blame him.
BRO WHO IS IS IN CHARGE OF THESE TRADES?! I'M ACTUALLY TWEAKING. MACKINNON AND RANTANEN ARE LIKE THE BEST DUO. FIRST MY FAV GOALIE NOW MY FAV PLAYER. I SWEAR IF THEY TRADE MILE WOODS NEXT IM GONNA RIP MY HAIR OUT. I RATHER BE A SHARKS FAN CAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M DEALING WITH MORE LOSSES HERE
I know it's part of life in sports but it still sucks to lose players you love.
Absolute worst part of hockey. He deserves to get paid, but it is still such a bummer.
Good luck, Moose!
pain. you will be so missed, mikko.
My favorite player 😞 gonna miss going to games and hearing the moose chants 😥
We will always love you mikko. You have brought so much to this team
mikko has brought a lot to the team
Love you Mikko always Avs forever we never forget.🏒
He was my favorite colorado player❤😢
Nothing but love for you mikko... Going to be missed highly here in Colorado...
My favorite power forward of all time! 💔 forever and always a Moose Fan! 🫎
Moose- It has been awesome watching you through the years! Thank for all the effort and helping the AVS bring the CUP back. Wishing you all the best!
Absolutely devastated
Avs Legend, we will miss you Mikko
This trade hurts right in the feels
It's just painful to watch go away. Love you Mikko Rantenen❤❤❤
Thank you Mikko! We love you and that will never change ❤️
You will forever be missed. Thank you for the memories 😢❤
Lets hope Mikko returns at some point again..that would be beautiful
Thank you for providing such great hockey to watch with the avalanche being my favorite and helping them win the cup! Best moment of my childhood/teenage years so far may have been seeing you guys win the cup in pure dominant avalanche-like fashion! I hope to see you back soon Rantanen!
I hope this is setting up another big move, because the Avs today aren’t as good as they were yesterday 🙁
Thanks for everything Mikko, you’ll be missed in Colorado for sure. Wish you all the best
Gonna miss you mikko
I’ve only watched the avs 4 times one of them being in person, this guy was one of the players I got connected to the most ima miss him
Ur the best moose, best of luck in Carolina gonna miss you
It’s sad that he has to go but we will never forget you ❤️
Thought yesterday was a dream hearing the news…. We love you Moose
All my jerseys have 96 on the back. Still can’t believe it 🤯
So glad i got to go to the stars game last week. Got to see him play one last time.
Lucky, I never got to live see him play in an Avalanche jersey.
Imagine he comes back at the end of his career, to spend his last games with mackinnon, like other avalanche legends before him.
We’re going to miss you Moose!
This one hurts my heart
Goodbye Mikko ❤
Sorry to see him go. Good luck with the Canes
One o the best Avs ever …. he will be missed but that’s the business of hockey now and it had to be done or loose him for nothing. Thanks Mikko 👍🏻
They will regret this
@@mikescorpio13that was jokes with his dad cuz they are both fins?

Im devastated
as a avs fan and hockey fan in general it’s sad to see moose go aka rantanan ❤
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
This is how I felt when the Flames traded Tkachuk. Just heartbroken
Sadly the moose finally got loose from the Avs. We will miss all the great moments he provided us over the years.
Hear me out, Carolina: give us back Mikko and we’ll give you Necas, Drury, and Chris MacFarland
I’m gonna miss you moose… 😢 we all will
💔 worst way to wake up
I'm still shocked they did this it's unreal
Petition to bring mikko back. Sign him back when he become a free agent in 5 months.
He'll need to sign the standard 1-year vet min like everyone else and earn that extension like the rest of em trying to resuscitate their careers 😂 (kidding)
Missing Moose already!
Mikko😪😪😪
This is a stupid trade, bring the Moose back 🫎
This is a sadness
We have to do a lot right to win another cup… this might be the start of the end… I hope not. Necas is promising and is one of the few who can match Mack’s speed. Could turn into a sweet duo.. times change people
For those who don’t know Mikko was traded to the hurricanes and we got necas but mikko I will always miss😢
Long season
My cats name is Mikko, what am I supposed to tell him?
Tell him rantanen still lives in our hearts and that you shouldn’t change his name.
@TheBunnysTrueFan i would never.... he's my little Mikko!
😢😢😢😢😢😢
As a ave faithful i have seen many players come and go from peter, patrick and many other moose your a nother name to see gone it is hard to watch you leave best of luck with the new steps in life your always a avalanche
Mooooooose damn sad to see you gone
There goes our cup run... Let's trade Mac to the Coyotes for a washing machine and a 6 pack of Schlitz
Let's trade Makar for a few pieces of some poop and toothpicks
Would you rather Rantanen sign elsewhere in free agency and the Avs lose him for nothing?
Lets see how Necas, and Drury work out first before throwing in the towel.
@@joefilozof8380Wishful thinking, not gonna happen.
Not the moose! He deserves to get paid which is why they shipped him.
This sucks! Thank you, Mikko! You will be missed…
Gonna miss him big time! But what were the avs thinking? Like they traded for two forwards and we need defensemen and they traded mikko like cmon 😢
So, you’d rather see Burns instead of Necas and Drury?
@ idk he’d for sure be a big help Ik our fourth line is on the rough side so getting new forwards ain’t a bad thing but we also have players injured
Avs traded him because at the end of the year his contract is up and Avs can’t pay him what he’s worth with the cap, so he’d leave anyway and the Avs would be left with nothing.
@ no Ik I was recently at the wild and avs game at ball arena and some guys behind us were saying he wants Makar and makinon money
Im not ready for this…..
😭😭😭
Damn mikko wouldn't take a deal.
I can't believe this, hope he hates Carolina and comes back to us, but for now, the Moose is loose 😥
No one hates Carolina, thanks for moose, we will take care of him! Take care of Marty and Jack!
@@mudbuttish nobody calls him moose besides us! and yes we will make them feel at home, and make them better :D
@@RizztasticL lol okay
The moose 😢
This is the worst. Avs fan since the beginning and this one hurts even more than 21 and 6. 😭
I was thinking about making toast while I bathed tonight
But what a mistake! You sold one of the best players in franchise history, but are you crazy???????
you have shattered the future of the club, I fear the worst in the months to come
My day and my week is ruined
😢 💔
He's going to regret this
😥
stupid move. end of an era is here. it was fun while it lasted. I definitely think mikko wanted to stay. MacFarland sucks as gm. they should have just let him go
😢
Moose forever!!!!
96❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤❤
😭 😭😭😭😭
Why did you trade him bro
LETS GO CAROLINA
Get out of this channel go
Isn’t there an off season for seismic moves like this, like a trade and sign? But I don’t get paid the big bucks to flush seasons down the drain.
He was gone after this season anyways, his contract was up and we couldn’t afford him. So get something from him now, or he goes free in a few months and we get nothing
The Avs really fucked up here. Reading his response to being traded i definitely think he would've tried to work it out with us to stay this off season. This is one the Avs are gonna regret big time.
Avs*
$14 M AAV was not affordable given the Avs other cap hits
@soadfan1016 the avs had 12 million already available for this off season. They could've found a way to free up 2 million more. Trading away and getting rid of future hall of famers that are in there 20s rarely ends up well for the team doing it. In any sport.
@@JM-ju4uiyeah but their gonna need to pay Cale soon and he is going to be expensive
@Jaster_Edits87 cale makars contract isn't up for another 3 off seasons. By then the cap will keep rising and more money will be freed up.

Terrible trade, window closed. Way to be cheap avs
This isn't baseball... there's a salary cap
Sad that he is gone but lets see what the new additions bring before panicking.
This is so stupid. Avs are cooked
Well on the bright side maybe he'll be back once he realizes nobody else in the league is gonna pay him more than 10
Worst trade in the history of the team just horrible cant believe it these moves nake or break teams and super joe you just broke this team
Joe Sakic idk what hes doing....u should give Mikko whatever he was asking. yea its that simple.
It's all about the cash always $$$.He had a great run now he's done!
Thanks Moose!!!🫎…Man this sucks you can just feel the window shut behind him…
весь чемпионский состав 21-22 раскидали по всему НХЛ. без Рантанена АВС уже ничего не добьётся. тупейшая сделка на обмен
This guy hasn’t played team hockey in years, Moose was a guy but he hadn’t wanted to be here for some time now
😭😭😭
😥
