True, his skating surely doesn't look "effortless".
But he seems to be in the right position more often than not to make the necessary play. You rarely see him be the goat. The skating isn't as detrimental a factor as it appears and hopefully something he can improve.
His hockey sense is top-notch and it's kind of sad that his shot can't be rivaled by any of Flames' right-handers, forwards included.
For me Rasmus has a higher ceiling than Hanifin and Kylington. Yes, I know 'but the skating!'. Well, yes and no, see first paragraph.
I don't think we see him re-sign early, he's an RFA with NO arbitration rights.
