Right. There were guys I wanted more but not based on watching them play so it's hard to be mad about picking one guy over another. Like it or not, we're cheering for Rasmussen now. Hope he exceeds expectations. 1 derblaueClaus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's one of the few consensus North-American first-rounders I haven't seen in person. But I've watched stuff on YouTube and spoken to people who've seen him in person. Those people say he's effective but unremarkable. Edited June 24, 2017 by Dabura Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way I feel right now I have no faith in Holland. How can you go into the draft wanting one thing and come out with another. Vilardi was a slam dunk. Holland would have screwed up the first pick overall. Yes I'm very angry I understand what you're saying, and I'm frustrated as well, but I also didn't have a chubby for Vilardi to start. He said they were going to concentrate on centers and defense... they got a big center who was ranked anywhere from 5-15, so I'm failing to see why the sky is necessarily falling. Annoyed, sure, but 16 teams passed on Vilardi so maybe something was up with him that we didn't know about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrie 900 Report post Posted June 24, 2017 Here ya go, some 2016-17 highlights of our guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TicSWmJ_knY I don't watch Jr Hockey, so I can't comment on other guys we passed on, but we can use a forward with size, who isn't afraid of going to the net. 1 amato reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted June 24, 2017 Seriously, did Rasmussen play around the net like that because that's all he could do or because that's what his coach wanted from him? If it's all he can do, probably and pick. If he can do more then could be a great pick.Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,228 Report post Posted June 24, 2017 OK, I've vented and ingested some booze. I feel a little better. Welcome aboard, Rasmussen. I hope you become the next Jesus Christ. If you fail to become the next Jesus Christ, I will boo you mercilessly at every opportunity. #Family Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like he goes to the net, is impossible to move when he gets there, and thinks shoot first when he gets the puck. We could use more guys who think shoot first. 5 kickazz, Shepard88, Barrie and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, I don't know the skill level of the guys we didn't pick, but guys who shoot the puck first are exciting to watch. 1 amato reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
