I really like Rakell, I never forgot how he literally threw his body into the air, at an odd angle, in a desperate bid to stop Antoine Vermette's shot. It worked. Sadly (for him) the second wouldn't be stopped, but that always stuck me with after the series was over.
That being said, I wouldn't trade Ian Mitchell for him. While it is always harder to tell at this stage, I love what I've seen from him, and I think his potential ceiling is higher than Rakell's current one (in terms relative to what the Hawks will be lacking). So I pass.
