This could be a very uncertain summer for the Colorado Avalanche, but securing a little long-term certainty might be the best move the club can make. Mikko Rantanen is not one of Colorado's nine free agents, but he's eligible for a new contract starting July 1. Signing him to another long-term deal in July would help the Avs ensure their window as a Stanley Cup contender goes beyond 2024-25 and provide general manager Chris MacFarland with a clearer picture of what can be done this offseason and beyond to supplement a championship-level core. Rantanen, who will turn 28 in late October, is entering the final season of a six-year contract that he signed in late September 2019.
