Absolutely correct, but also entirely different players.
I really don't know how anyone is able to confidently predict a player's future progression. Rasmus has been a big disappointment this year, I don't know how else to spin it. IMO it's entirely still unknown at this point whether he lives up to his contract or exceeds it.
As it relates to Brodie, I really think many of us are now seeing just how important he was to this team and unfortunately losing him for nothing has hurt. I was hoping Valimaki could grow into that role but not happening yet.
