Mikko Rantanen was part of two blockbuster trades during the 2024-25 season that ultimately sent him to Dallas. Here's how it all went down.

Brière was a monster in that series scoring six goals to lead the Flyers.

Brière also scored in Game 7 that gave the Flyers a 2-0 lead in a game they went on to win 5-2.

The Dallas Stars acquired Mikko Rantanen for many reasons. He's one of the most complete players in the NHL today, capable of dominating all three zones. He's an elite goal scorer and playmaker and has the ideal size to withstand the rigors of professional hockey,
