Confirmed with Link: Michael Rasmussen loaned to Graz 99ers in Austria

[Steve Yzerlland]

Those don't count as goals??????

Who said they don't count? Would like to see if there's some versatility in his scoring!

 

[1878rgw]

1 PP Assist and -2 tonight.

That is the kind of player he is though, a net front presence, so most of his goals are going to come from in tight. No different than a guy like Ciccarelli, he was not some sniper or anything, but scored 600+ goals by being an annoying pest in tight to the net.

Ciccarelli was more than just net front presence.

Ras going to be more than just net front.

 

[Oddbob]

Ciccarelli was more than just net front presence.

Yeah, didn't say that was all he was, and Ras has other tools as well.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Ras going to be more than just net front.

That's the hope...

 

[MBH]

1 PP Assist and -2 tonight.

10 PIMs too

 

[TCNorthstars]

10 PIMs too

Did he tell the ref to check his voicemail because he missed a few calls?

 

[1878rgw]

10 PIMs too

Missed it, I check the rules maybe he gets a 1 game suspension for the second 10, like in DEL.

 

[FabricDetails]

Hehe, no one celebrating. Maybe they were down or up by a lot or something.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Maybe it happens right after this, but celebrate with your teammates Ras, didn't like the post goal.

I liked the neutral zone steal and delay to make sure it was onside, nice play.

Yeah I'm wondering if they were up/down 6-1 or something.

Odd, I see they won the game, but I don't see Raz with an assist either....
Graz 99ers live score, schedule and results - Hockey - SofaScore

They're obviously playing Bratislava so I looked at the previous games as well. I don't see a penalty on the play either. In any case, a heads up play.

His stats look OK, but he's really not dominating in a lower league which is somewhat disappointing.

 

[Shultzyfeelinirie25]

if we were to move Ras would you think he still has good trade value? i just dont know if he'll ever be what i wanted him to be. which is fine but i guess i was just hoping for him to be a power forward that could put up 50-60pts a season but its looking like maybe he will be less than that. which is cool i have thought about trading him for a little while now though and just wondered what we could realistically get

Trading prospects at this point just delays the rebuild process. Getting draft picks for Raz doesn't guarantee that we will wind up with a better player, a lot of late 1st rounders and second rounders wash out.

So what if he winds up being a 3C and PP/PK specialist? That still fills a team need. I'd rather have Raz as 3C instead of Flip/Namestnikov/Gagner/Nielsen/LGD/Helm in the long run.

Rather wait and see what role he develops into, trading prospects before letting em develop is counter productive for the rebuild

You have Veleno vying for that spot too. And in spite of him playing center for a season at the AHL, his slow, nearly 1 dimensional play style is better suited for a middle 6 winger. I could see a line of Bert-Veleno-Ras being a great third line in the future, hard to play against, and is great for depth scoring.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

If our upper 2 tier F's make the NHL, we'll be 9 deep. Sign Barkov in UFA & we're set up front.

Larkin
Mantha
Zadina
Raymond
Bert
Fabbri
+
Veleno
Berggren
Ras
+
possible Soderblom, Grewe, Mastro, Svech, Niederbach, Stange etc.

Werenski=1LD. 1G in UFA shouldn't be too hard to find. Boom.

 

[lilidk]

Something like Sergachev for Rasmussen, could be good for both teams.

I wouldn't let Tampa fans see this, they are going to be pretty angry at that being floated as anywhere near appropriate value.

 

[Ulysses31]

Still have high hopes for Ras, could be JVR holmstrom hybrid with a dash of todd bertuzzi, plus he cab play centre

It's just a sample what SY could do , somehow they need to figure out how to fit him there. Anyway guy is only 21 and if we get great offer for him, why not

 

[Dotter]

I'm not ruling out that he'll have a Jordan Staal level of impact. 3rd liner.

... or maybe Joe winds up centering the 4th line. Not really sure what to make of him yet.

Seems like all of Holland's picks have issues making the jump from juniors with the exception of Larkin.

In any case, it doesn't change my argument. Not point in trading Raz right now.
