The problems with using Lehkonen and Rakell as comparables are that (1) neither was a center, and (2) both were UFAs. Henrique has the same face-off percentage as Evgeni Malkin, excels defensively to the point of killing penalties, would be fifth in goals on your team which subtle indications suggest is a better team than Anaheim, and has a year left on his contract. Plus, you're getting more retention on him than you are on McCabe, and we'd probably go all the way to half off ($2,912,500). All of which adds up to a first-round draft pick.
