Mikko Rantanen is set to become a free agent this summer and the New York Rangers could look to pursue the superstar forward. Rantanen was traded from the Colorado Avalanche to the Carolina Hurricanes, but he’s still yet to sign a contract extension.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are one of the top teams in the NHL and insider Elliotte Friedman says they'd do a lot to acquire Mikko Rantanen.
