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.

The Maple Leafs tried to get Mikko Rantanen from the Hurricanes before the trade deadline before he was traded to the Stars.

The NHL trade deadline is Friday afternoon, and scuttlebutt around the league has centered on Rantanen and whether the Canes will re-sign him, trade him, or keep him and try to agree on a new contract.

It was just over a month ago that Mikko Rantanen was dealt to the Carolina Hurricanes in a stunner of a trade that sent Martin Necas and Jack Drury to the Colorado Avalanche. But the free-agent-to-be has quite the decision to make: will the Finnish star sign with the Hurricanes long-term? Or will he want to test the market this summer?

The Carolina Hurricanes Mikko Rantanen saga was quite an ordeal over the past week, finally concluding with him being traded to the Dallas Stars for Logan Stankoven, two first-round picks and two third-round picks on Friday afternoon.

Elliotte Friedman is reporting that the Toronto Maple Leafs approached superstar forward Mitch Marner and asked if he would consider waiving his no-move clause to facilitate a trade in an effort to acquire Mikko Rantanen from the Carolina Hurricanes.

NHL insider Nick Kypreos of Sportsnet revealed the Toronto Maple Leafs had the best offer for Mikko Rantanen but the Hurricanes said no. The post Insider Claims Maple Leafs Had Best Trade Offer for Star $55.
