I believe Brett Connolly is like to regress back into a 25 point player, which is what he has been for the vast majority of his career.
Rackell on the other hand, has had 40+ points in 5 of his 6 full seasons in the NHL. He's an actual top 6 forward. The Flames have had very good luck with Swedes. With Rackell, the Swedish culture would be overwhelming, in a good way.
He'd be worth the extra cost, and since he's off to a slow start, he'd be cheaper than usual.
Anaheim has shown interest in Bennett multiple times. And they desperately need a young center more than any other team in the league.
