5. Will Mikko Rantanen be at Camp?

Our star winger, Mikko Rantanen, is not going to make camp. I guess tomorrow is only technically the first day of camp when veterans show up for their physicals. The team has four days of actual training camp activities after medicals day. So, technically, Rantanen at camp isn’t impossible.

However, some high-end restricted free agents seem to have a terminal case of FOMO. They’re all waiting to see what the others get, and they don’t seem to mind if that waiting game gets them out of the little-loved training camp.

To be fair, teams don’t seem to be turning the heat up too much on their offers. The waiting game seems to be a two-way street.

Nonetheless, I think all of Avs Nation will be watching to see of our Finnish star will be here at camp or at least the preseason.
