Mikko Rantanen was part of two blockbuster trades during the 2024-25 season that ultimately sent him to Dallas. Here's how it all went down.

The Colorado Avalanche's decision to trade Mikko Rantanen continues to haunt them. In addition to ending the Avs' season with a third-period hat trick in Game 7 of their first-round series, Rantanen has been the undisputed standout performer of the entire Stanley Cup Playoffs thus far,

It wasn’t a handshake line at the end of this remarkable seven-game series for Mikko Rantanen. It was a hug line.

After eliminating his former team with a Game 7 hat-trick, Mikko Rantanen plans on haunting the Colorado Avalanche, his former team, in perpetuity.

In 81 career playoff games for the Avalanche, Rantanen had 101 points (34 goals, 67 assists). His last game with them was Jan. 22, but the regular season ended with him still as their third-leading scorer with 64 points (25 goals, 39 assists) in his 49 games behind Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar.

The answer was there all along. It’s Game 7. It’s a thing that Dallas and Colorado were bound to encounter at the end of this two-week thrill ride.

Stars' superstar Mikko Rantanen has been on a mission since the playoffs began, but Pete DeBoer believes the Jets haven't seen his best.
