Nah. He's like Draisaitl to McDavid. Gets a bump playing with MacKinnon for sure but he's legit on his own. I've had him on my fantasy teams and anytime MacKinnon's been injured he picks up the slack and produces at a high clip.

Mikko Rantanen has 22 goals, 30 assists and a plus-minus of +22 in 46 games without Nathan MacKinnon in his career.

Avalanche will be considerably worse after trading him but if he wants close to $15 million I understand why they are making the deal. Sucks to lose such a good player though.
