The Hurricanes are not reportedly shopping Mikko Rantanen on the trade market with less than two weeks left until the deadline.

It seems Carolina’s only focus right now is keeping Rantanen, whether as an extended player or worst case as a rental.

It's been over a month since the Carolina Hurricanes acquired Mikko Rantanen from the Colorado Avalanche in a blockbuster three-team deal involving the Chicago Blackhawks. Nevertheless, it's rumored the 28-year-old right winger could be peddled before the March 7 NHL trade deadline.
