Roy Cooper, the former governor of North Carolina, hit the former extreme of Carolina Hurricanes Mikko Rantanen after Rantanen was negotiated on Friday.
Rantanen, 28, played in just 13 games with hurricanes after they acquired him from the avalanche of Colorado in January, scoring only two goals during his brief period.
After an interesting debacle with a long -term contract in Carolina, the hurricanes made a second exchange, this time sending Rantanen to the stars of Dallas, the team with which he finally signed a long -term extension.

“Bad rotation, Mikko. You would have loved each other here but did not give NC an opportunity,” Cooper published on social networks. “On the positive side, if (the hurricanes) were getting for the playoffs what these last 13 games obtained, then it is the best. Now is the time of a Carolina Cup race!”
Because Rantanen was not ready to decide an extension and commit themselves in the long term, hurricanes changed him to the stars in exchange for striker Logan Stankoven, two first round selections and two third round selections, according to a ESPN report.
According to reports, the stars are also signing Rantanen to an eight -year contract extension and $ 12 million per year.

Rantanen was expected to provide a great boost to the hurricanes, but only had six points in his 13 games after scoring 64 points in 49 games with the avalanche before being changed.
Hurricanes treated Martin Necas and Jack Dury to Rantanen’s avalanche, a considerable price to acquire the Finnish end.
Necas had 55 points in 49 games with hurricanes before being changed and has fitted well with Colorado, scoring 15 points in 14 games with the avalanche.

Hurricanes have 78 points this season, they are in second place in the Metropolitan Division and are firmly in the Playoffs position.
