I updated my post.
The sites were legit but not what you claimed.
Rasanen has improved and then got injured. And will have to work up again but he's a fine skater for his height.
Proposal: Maple Leafs Futures Package
- Thread starter Duke16

Qouted from arricle
"His skating is not pretty, he looks clumsy and awkward"
That's the hockey writers. Can't help that the big dogs don't talk about him. Probably cause he isn't on their radar.
Doesn't matter not only did I prove what I said but I predicted how you would act lol.

ill back myself up now
Dominic Tiano, who writes about the OHL, said this:
worked hard on his skating, but still has some ways to go, especially his technique and adding even more speed. At the Hlinka, he was beaten to the outside with speed easily. Now, he’s using his long reach and a quicker step to prevent being beaten.
there are reports of his meh skating at draft he has since improved it.

how does skating looking bad = actually bad?
i laready linked you something, i wish you could learn to quote properly.
No he is not a fine skater he is below average. He utilizes his long legs for his speed but his skating is not currently a + in the skill department. Besides like I said before you started being obnoxious is he can turn it around. He just doesn't hold top 4 upside at the moment. There for I wouldn't offer anything that leafs would want. Which was a second rd pic k or better.

A big mobile defensemen with long strides that while look awkward, they are effective…makes quick decision with the puck…on reception, he never hesitates, instead immediately turns to transition up ice and avoid staying stationary. While he doesn’t use his huge frame to be punishing with a nasty edge like he could, he is still a physical presence, stepping up to lay clean hits or rubbing carriers out along the boards. [He] does an excellent job controlling gaps, makes stick-on-puck plays off the rush…is gifted, towering defensemen who can contribute offensively in a way most 6’6” defenders can’t.” – Future Considerations
“Rasanen has a heavy shot but really needs time and space to let it go. His skating is not pretty, he looks clumsy and awkward often and that may just be him growing into his body. He has shown the ability to rush the puck up the ice or join the rush and has lots of raw talent. A work in progress, but one with considerable potential.” – Peter Harling, Dobber Prospects
he was raw and has improved his skating, it was fine and is better now.

If Dubas deems full value for Bracco as anything close to what Leaf fans suggest, Bracco won't be traded regardless and it has nothing to do with what type of player the Leafs were trying to develop.

It's tangential, but Spurgeon seems to come up often amongst Leafs fans. If the read is that he's a 2nd pairing guy it should be reconsidered.

I love rasanen's talent but he's such a wildcard now.
still, that package is not all that different than what got muzzin.

I wouldn't trade Faulk for that if I were the canes either. Leafs add ++Yeah....that's not happening

Leafs fans are high on Bracco we aren’t begging to trade him. We actually know our own prospect pool and know he has value and with our right side already set he is a logical trade chip. For years we heard the same thing about Kap and Johnsson now they are offer sheet targets. Hell I remember oilers fans saying they wouldn’t trade Ethan bear for kap straight up cause he was a “spare part”, how foolish those fans look now. But keep thinking the kid who’s ripping up the AHL is garbage and holds no value.

Then hold him and part with a more proven NHLer such as Kap or AJ and slot the cheaper player into the line up while getting a better return.
