Rasmus will be worth 4.5M over the life of his contract. Tkachuk - we’ll see. But he’s already many times better than Bennett.
Bennett was 7 years ago, but the ripples of not getting that 1C are still being felt, because that’s the only way to get one unless you get really really lucky.

Who cares how much ‘better’ Tkachuk is than any teammate? He is a guy who appears immature, is being overpaid for what he is delivering, and has to be qualified at an ugly 9 million
The team has many draft picks they have overlooked, who have played right under their noses, like Getzlaf and Brayden Point
It’s not good on Tre that his 4th OA didn’t pan out. Clearly with the benefit of hindsight, Tre missed something, didn’t he?
