Today, we learned about some roster updates through comments Jeff Blashill made to reporters.
First, the news that was not quite expected, but will make a good amount of fans happy:
#RedWings Blashill indicates they’re likely to keep Rasmussen long term. Not concerned about 10-game threshold that burns year off entry level deal. But doesn’t mean he’ll won’t go back to juniors later in season.

So, Rasmussen will likely not be returned to juniors at the end of his 9 game period.
