Are you a Dallas Stars fan who currently owns a Mikko Rantanen jersey? If so, consider yourself lucky and don't let go of it.
Mikko Rantanen leads all players in the postseason with 19 points through 13 games, helping propel the Dallas Stars into a Western Conference Final rematch with the Edmonton Oilers.
Former Colorado Avalanche star Mikko Rantanen is the NHL's hottest jersey.
On the latest episode of the 32 Thoughts Podcast, Elliotte Friedman and Kyle Bukauskas kicked things off by discussing the Dallas Stars' playoff series against the Winnipeg Jets.
During the conversation, Friedman shared an interesting update about the Rantanen jersey situation in Dallas, noting that despite Rantanen joining the team midseason, Stars fans have been quick to embrace him, with his jerseys becoming increasingly popular and far less available.
«In the previous four days leading up to Thursday, they sold 450 Rantanen jerseys. And they would have sold more if they could get their hands on any. They had to keep ordering new shipments, and new shipments, and new shipments, that's how big the demand is for Rantanen.» -Friedman
It's not surprising that Rantanen's jersey is becoming so popular. When a team brings in a star player midseason and locks him up with a long-term deal, fans tend to get excited. His standout performances and impact during the playoffs have only boosted his appeal. It's the perfect mix of strong play and fan enthusiasm, and Rantanen is living up to the hype.
The Colorado Avalanche may come to regret parting ways with Rantanen, but for the Dallas Stars, the trade has been a clear win. It may easily be their smartest trade in franchise history.
«I think the team has sold over 1500, which is a huge number for them. It has to be the number one jersey in the NHL right now.» -Friedman
Rantanen's Dallas Stars are set to face the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference Final for the second consecutive year. Game 1 goes on Tuesday night.
