It even happens with draft picks here in Australia, a bit less dramatic than North Americans though, I must say.
Are you new here? People complain about every Red Wings draft pick. Go back if you can and find the Larkin draft pick thread. Hell, there are people here who still would rather have Chychrun instead of Cholowski and Hronek. Everyone hated when Holland traded down and got Mantha and Bertuzzi, too.

I'm not new, I've been here for a few years, it's just recently though that, the whining has really gotten on my nerves.
Rasmussens numbers dont look any better than last season, I was hoping for some improvement
I don't actually watch him so he could be playing much better for all I know
He’s averaging nearly twice the assists/game (0,71 vs 0,42) which is important considering playmaking was perhaps the #1 issue people had with him. I believe his ES/PP splits are better too but don’t have exact numbers. It’d be nice if he keeps improving through the season but I don’t think you should expect some crazy numbers, instead be happy to know he’s a guy that has a big chance to translate a lot of what he’s doing to the pro game. Tons of players can cheat defensively and dangle in juniors to put up huge numbers and then just disappear when they’re forced to learn defense and their old tricks stop working in the pros.Rasmussens numbers dont look any better than last season, I was hoping for some improvement

Larkin would be 1C and Nielsen will be on the team.2 years from now

Svechnikov- Larkin- Bertuzzi

Its a difference of 1.1 to 1.2 which is a difference of about 7 points over a whole season. But what a lot of people are forgetting for some reason is that Rasmussen hadnt played a game since last January or February before coming to the red wings camp this year because of surgery he had. Hes also taken a big step ahead in actually leading his team this year as well.
Without looking hes went from ~5th or 6th on his team in points per game last season to first this year coming off an injury that had him sidelined for 6 months. Hard to look at raw point totals when hes on such a low scoring team. Same reason he was one of the top performers against Russia when the talent levels were equal across the board
Bertuzzi is so far from a top 6 role at this stage.
Mantha - Larkin - Nyquist
Tatar - Rasmussen - Athanasiou
Svechnikov - Nielsen - Bertuzzi
Abdelkader - Glendening - Helm
D-pairings are based on stylistic fit:
DeKeyser - Hronek
Cholowski - Daley
Saarijarvi - Jensen
You need someone on that third pairing with some strength and size and defense.
By the time Hronek and Saarijarvi and Rasmussen are here, Nyquist will be gone.
What's the deal in the WHL?
I wanted to see how Rasmussen and Cholowski size up against WHL competition and scoring in this league looks like the Quebec league in the early 80s. Rasmussen is 77th overall and Cholo is 18th among defensemen despite solid production
Not a chance the team looks anywhere close to this.2 years from now
