Mikko Rantanten’s stay in Carolina was about as long as Abe Simpson’s taking a lap around the “Maison Derrière” burlesque house when Bart spotted him. Rantanen was dealt to Dallas on Friday after being unable to reach an agreement with the Hurricanes on a long-term deal — it’s reported that Rantanen will now sign an eight year deal with Stars worth $12M AAV.

The Dallas Stars landed elite forward Mikko Rantanen from the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday prior to the NHL Trade Deadline and signed him to an eight-year contract, giving them the deepest forward group in the League and making them the front-runner to win the Stanley Cup.
