Terevainen is a good player. Scored 64 points last year.

Oh, I agree, but at the time they acquired him it was totally uncertain what he'd ultimately become - a passable top 6 player, or the guy he is? Given what he turned into, they paid almost nothing to get him, which was my point. They got an entire top line while giving up almost no assets in return for them - didn't even have to spend a 1st rounder on Aho. And they're not paying them much money, either (though that will no doubt change soon).
