Good signing. I think Razzy has a ways to go before he starts commanding $8-10M as a UFA, but he’s definitely trending up and is already making strides to be a regular top 4 with top 2 potential.
Interesting to hear Treliving talk on 960 about him being part of the core. With him and Tkachuk both having dads who played in the NHL, you can tell these guys are comfortable being part of the leadership group.
I posted this when he got drafted:

Glad to see it pay off. Great value for a second round pick!
