The mix of a PP matters though. I've said in other posts that Rasmus has been the #1 PP dman in Calgary for a few years and he has been below average and the Flames PP has been below average in that time.
But other than Johnny, the Flames never had anyone that can skate it into the zone. That is a big part of why a pp is great. Oilers PP seems unstoppable, but Mcdavid skates it in with ease almost every time. Once they gain the zone, they are good, but how quickly the get it in is why they score so much.
Detroit has the speed, in the right situation Rasmus and his shot could be a huge asset to a team that needs a big shot from the point. I don't think Rasmus is a top PP QB, but he might be their first option and is a cheap contract for 2 years for a team that has been rebuilding for quite some time. He could be a good fit vs them going for a player 15th overall.
