If this team was in its win now window, I'm still not sure I'd sign him for what he will likely command.

Like Lindholm, I could see whoever pays Ras regretting the signing. Maybe not as quick as it's happened with Lindholm, but within 2-3 years.
Lindholm is a good comparison.

When Johnny and Chucky left, he fell off a cliff. Andersson lost Hanifin and he has struggled in an elevated role. HIs play was declining prior to this.

He is going to get paid 1st pairing money and he is a 2nd pairing guy. Just like Lindholm wanted 1st line C money, and he is putting up 2nd line numbers and unable to carry a line.
