This time a report from insider for The Fourth Period David Pagnotta who has linked the Winnipeg Jets to swoop in and acquire Rantanen as the deadline approaches. <img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/533912.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /> With just six days until the NHL Trade Deadline the Jets or any other team that wants to get in on the Rantanen sweepstakes will have to act quickly to have a chance.
