Well just by looking at those years trades. Rakell was pretty close in value, Copp isn't that far off, Lehkonen also not much less, Giroux, Hagel is not a rental but he got more than that. Even Josh Manson was close. Not knocking on Sandin too much cause I think he will be good and is showing it now, but those are just the trades this year that got either close too or more value than that bertuzzi trade.
Rakell wasn't really even close to this value, he was a second and a couple of meh players/prospects.
Copp wasn't terribly far off, depending on how far the rangers go. If they don't beat the Canes, then yes it is (2 2nds and an ok prospect).
Manson wasn't really that close, a second and a pretty good prospect, but probably the closest out of all of them.
Lehkonen and Hagel were not UFA's.
Giroux is a fair point. Giroux got about as much as this package (not quite, but very close). But is Bert really a lot better than Giroux? No, not by much, if at all.
