Michael Rasmussen. Let’s talk about the big guy. It’s been almost five years since the Detroit Red Wings drafted Rasmussen at 9th overall. Since then, he’s played 171 career games, amassing just 53 points in the process. At 9th overall, many people expected Big Moose to develop into a much higher-potential player. To those people, I say this: despite Ken Holland and Tyler Wright’s best efforts, they managed to draft a competent player.
