While the hockey world watches and waits for any signs of movement regarding new contracts for Mikko Rantanen and Patrik Laine, the two seem to be having a great time in Switzerland while they skip their training camps. A video posted to social media Friday shows Rantanen and Laine attending what is presumably an SC Bern game. Rantanen addressed the camera while Laine tries to "video bomb" him.
Rantanen and LaineBoth Laine and Rantanen are from Finland but were likely set up to train with SC Bern of the National League by their agent, Michael Liut. Both intend to stay until new deals are in place with their respective teams. At last check, there appeared to be about a $2 million dollar gap between what Rantanen wanted per season and what Colorado is willing to pay him. Laine, meanwhile, seems to be caught in a battle of words with his coach where he insists on getting minutes on the top line and Paul Maurice appears unwilling to give in to his demands.
