Rasmussen is fine, he’s slightly overpaid but remember last year he had 33 points in 75 games. He’d having a down year for sure but he’s capable of better. Sometimes when I see him with the puck he plays just so risk adverse, a guy like him is probably still undoing what Lalonde did to his development and told him how to play. He brings size and PK to our team, even if he’s just on the 4th line I’m okay with him.

And since starting to play center full time again around game 46, he's been 52% on faceoffs. If he and Soderberg can pair up to be a long term fixture in our bottom6 they are going to be a problem for people, especially if we can keep a guy like Berggren paired with them, someone who can take advantage of the space those two create in the offensive zone.
 
I was thinking that last night while watching the game. Ras's stick is where plays go to die.

It's become more obvious as that line plays better. When he gets the puck he seems so eager to get rid of it that it often ends up being a bad play.
It may take a while to de-Lalonde Ras...let's see what T-Mc can do with him, Moose looked so much more promising 2 seasons ago...with 2/3's of the Redwood line reunited...I am hopeful something good may develop as Elmer and Burgers get used to him (or the other way around).

I wish I were as optimistic. Ras is 25 years old. I feel like this is just the player he is.

But I’d love to be wrong.

I want Ras to be more, but even if this is what he is... long as he doesn't get too expensive he's not a bad piece in the bottom6.

At the same time, if we can use him to upgrade, I wouldn't be against it. But he's not a guy I'd just shoot off into the sun.
