Yeah I'm sure they hate to lose him but you have to give to get and it's not like he's profiling as a superstar #1.
Value wise, I'd say he's pretty comparable to Connor Geekie.
Plus they haves tons of center options, including young ones, in the organization so it's a big position of strength for them.
They've missed the playoffs for the last 8 years and they don't have a legit top-4 vet D.
Seider and Edvinsson are legit young guys, but then their D-Core is filled out with like a bunch of 5/6 guys like:
-Chiarot
-Maata
-Gustafsson
-Holl
They really need to get back into playoffs and they really need to solidy their top 4 to do that.
Plus Rasmus fits perfectly in their window being 27, a year younger then Larkin.
I think he's a perfect their and they could afford to sacrifice a piece, albeit a good one, like Danielson to do it.
