Friday Night Avalanche with Elliotte Friedman

Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne are joined by Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman to break down Friday night's surprise blockbuster that sent Mikko Rantanen to Carolina. The crew discuss previous contract negotiations between Rantanen and Colorado, the winger's likelihood of signing with the Hurricanes, the Vancouver Canucks' trade market, and the announcement of preseason games scheduled in Quebec City next year. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee (33:57) chat Alex Pietrangelo's decision to withdraw from the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament and his likely replacement, and Logan Thompson's new deal in Washington.
