Carolina Hurricanes forward Jack Roslovic may be the true winner of the National Hockey League's trade deadline after the team moved Mikko Rantanen to Dallas.

Moving aside from the potential Rantanen signing itself, I want to focus on the fact that the Edmonton Oilers were prepared to sign a top end pending free agent and were willing to use 12.5+ million in cap space to do so.

During the game at Rogers Place on Saturday, Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jake Walman delivered a strong open-ice hit on Mikko Rantanen.
