In the hockey blogosphere in 2017, if you want to make fun of a bad idea, you attribute it to Vancouver Canucks GM Jim Benning. The Canucks are poised to pick fifth overall, and the popular joke has them picking Michael Rasmussen. And I’ve seen several stat-minded writers and Tweets who are fearful their team will make the mistake of picking him.
Is Rasmussen an overhyped bust in the making? Or if he starts to drop, is he worth a look?
