No one should be in any rush to move this guy out. It really reminds me of when Robyn Regher struggled at 28-29 years old, and people started to right him off. No it won't be the same, so don't nitpick my comparisions but Rasmus is a core member of this team and a guy who (if he wants) you keep around during a rebuild.

It’s not a stretch it’s continuous decline in play year over year.
I look at a Chris Tanev you stick him with anyone and he elevates their game. So Kevin Bahl being is partner is more of an indictment on Andersson.
Will be a massive mistake signing him long term. Not a very good skater and it likely doesn’t improve.
This our chance to cash in he is not a core piece.
