The Journey: Bubble Prospect All-Star Team

Michael Rasmussen, C, Red Wings
Drafted ninth overall in 2017, Rasmussen was held in high regard and considered as one of the organization’s top prospects. With 24 points in 38 games, he has produced decently at the American League level but has yet to take that next leap to assure the Red Wings that he is ready for NHL action. He is the most tenured player on this list and just made this “bubble team” by a hair. However, he did not look overly great through his stint in the NHL, giving owners a reason to doubt.
With fellow centreman Joe Veleno rushing past him on the depth chart – and likely ready for NHL deployment – and Dylan Larkin occupying that top-line spot, there seems to be little room for Rasmussen at the moment.
However, it’s important to note how weak the Wings are up the middle. Given his towering size, and ability to produce at a passable rate, it will only take is a slight incline during the 2020-21 campaign, and he could be right back in the conversation. Let's give him at least one more season before we move on, shall we?

Except Rasmussen will likely be on the Wings when then NHL resumes and Veleno will be in the SHL.

Rushed passed him on what depth chart? According to who?

My man was a #1 center in the AHL last year as a 20 year old and we're just kind of hanging on before we write him off?
