I like this deal if Calgary is looking to re-sign Ras. Chychrun is younger (All 8 of these years will be his prime years), scores more points, scores quite a few more goals, and can effectively run a power play.
Rasmus is a little more of an all arounder who plays more all situation minutes, and he's a right handed d, but this reaffirms his max contract hit at $7-$7.5m x 8 years if he wants to resign in Calgary.
Otherwise, he'll get traded.
