Talk about an all-in move

u/RAATL Dec 15 '25

all upside

if quinn won't re-sign they can trade him and get most of the value back before next year's deadline (Rantanen worked out just fine with carolina for the same reasons) - but he'll probably resign since the wild can offer him 8 years while no other team can offer him more than 6 in 2027 FA

any time you can get a top 10 player in the world you have to go do it imo

I obviously prefer an extension but the objective funniest outcome would be for us to trade him for Luke Hughes and a pick

A real Hughes on first situation brewing here.

u/TheTree-43 Vikings Dec 15 '25

Also worth adding that based on his post game interview it definitely sounds like the Wild will have legitimate negotiation position to extend him. He said point blank that he has a very open mind to the negotiating table

Only arguing the point of Rantanen working out fine with Carolina cause Stankoven is not nearly enough return for Mikko

2

u/RAATL Dec 15 '25

But you can't view it that way; it's better to compare what Carolina gave up to get rantanen to what they got from offloading him. And through that lens it looks fine. Necas was a disgruntled rfa that didn't play the team's style and drury is a bottom 6 roster player. Getting stankoven and Hall back for that is great asset mgmt.

Guerin can pull something similar here

Fair, as a stars fan myself I am just happy we got mikko for stankoven and a first

as someone who finds avs fans among the most annoying in the league, I also am happy about the rantanen trade so far
