He will slim down. He will hit the gym. He will be a good pro. Everyone should be excited about Rasmus because he seriously is already thinking and controlling the game at an NHL level. A rare talent in my mind and I couldn't be more exite about Rasmus, Chilly and Hickey. Talk about anti-Oiler. We are STACKED on the back-end!

You certainly get the sense that his conditioning and commitment is what dropped him into the 2nd round.
Both Andersson and Kylington are arguably first round talents (maybe even top 15 talents from a deep draft), but both guys had some character issues which dropped them to the 2nd round.
If even one of them works out, it'll still be a successful draft. Don't mind this kind of calculated risk taking by management. If you have two 2nd round picks, take two big swings and go for the home run.
