I just wonder if he goes to a different environment or if tying that much money on a few players (the Edmonton model) is a good decision or not.

I got that you had a mixup - it didn't affect your point. It's true - valuation of a Rantanen/Draisaitl/Jari Kurri type is difficult because of their relationship to a high producing centre.
Marner is a funny one because while he and Matthews produce together I don't really tie them together as much - maybe because Matthews is the shooter.
I think among wingers Rantanen is below Kucherov and Kaprizov. But I can't think of too many others.
