Itis above Horvat and below Meier
Meier had a full year of team control. Horvat was a UFA

protected 1st ( top 10 or so) + recent late 1st/ mid 2nd round drafted prospect+ contracted player. Things can change based on the contracted player or who the prospect is.

Horvat was 1st+ mid 2nd prospect+ contract
Meier was low 1st but a recent mid 1st drafted player and retention

Rantanen is coming off back to back 100+ point season, has been very good in the playoffs (and won the Cup), and is generally considered one of the best wingers in the game today. If the Avs decide to do something stupid and trade him, why would they use either of these two guys as a comparable, when Horvat was a 2C and Meier only has a single career season where he's even come close to being PPG?

I know who I'd target on the sens, but I'm probably a minority yakemchuk, greig and batherson.
I don't see that as a fair deal for a player who's not signed, and generally rentals never get back that much, maybe one of those guys as a piece, but I just don't see it happening, you'd need to have salary going back to the Avs, so probably Norris would have to be included as a cap dump.

Yea he does but most teams are already over the cap and giving premium assets + finding 12-13M of cap space is next to impossible.

It’s a very hard sell for a buyer and that is if said buyer can find the cap to sign Rantanen
