They aren't lower value, the gap suggested between our guys and their guys is just not as much as some are suggesting
Rasmus is better in his own zone than Girard, probably a better fit in Colorado. But he won't touch the PP there.
We could use a pp dman right now. Rasmus had plenty of chances to shine on the PP for years with guys like Gaudreau and Tkachuk and he has all of 4 career PP goals. Flames PP has always been a disappointment for years, not all on Rasmus but his value is slipping, already lost the top PP role last year.
Girard has had one year where he got 23 min a night and got 32 points in 48 games, that paces out to top Rasmus career high in points.
Could be a win win move.
Kadri is better than Colton but makes more. We get the 1st for retaining salary on Rasmus to even the money out. We might get more but not a ton more.
Both playesr we get are in their mid 20s as well.
