He's a 6'5 PP specialist in the WHL.
When he does something in the AHL I'll be a lot more impressed.
And give me a break. Sheahan has shown plenty of ability in the NHL - an not just in the "pre-season."
And if you were paying attention in my earlier post that you responded to, I did say that Rasmussen may not ever be better than Sheahan. My point, determined as you are to miss it despite me explaining it explicitly several times, is that despite both being big centres, they are very different players. Indeed, by saying that Rasmussen is a PP specialist, you are almost making my point for me - Sheahan was never a PP specialist or a consistent and primary goalscorer - unless you count him being a 15 year old in the SCTAMM, whatever the hell that league is.
Hell, I apologise if it got your goat that I agreed someone who disagreed with you, but if you are going to pull 'give me a break', at least have the courtesy to read what I've written, and respond to that, rather than whatever your indignation imagined I said.
For the record, when he was playing at his best Sheahan was better defensively and as good a passer as Rasmussen currently projects to be. But just by looking at usage and point distribution, Ramsussen definitely projects to be more of a goalscorer and offensively minded player. I never said Sheahan didn't have offensive talent...I said he didn't have the mindset to maximise that talent. He was always responsibility first, and over the last two seasons his offensive confidence and instincts totally deserted him.
It looks like he's starting to rebound on a good team with a good coach and some talented linemates. Good for him. I always liked Sheahan and wanted him to succeed as a willingness to sacrifice for your linemates is something to be applauded, and he seems like a decent guy. But his time here turned poisonous for him. As, to varying degrees, it has for most of the roster Blash inherited.
