For those who have not read my Tyler Benson post, it is recommended that you do so before reading this post
In my previous post, I finished the conclusion that Tyler Benson would never have been a Canuck. The McCann trade was a WIN for the Canucks, especially looking at who the SABRES drafted.
Rasmus Asplund, 18, was the draftee of the Buffalo Sabres, who took him 33rd overall, the pick they received from a trade with Florida. This pick originally belonged to Vancouver, however they traded it for Gudbranson. His numbers are ridiculous in a poor fashion. 4 goals, 12 points in 46 games. Nowhere near Benson's numbers (28 points in 30 games played). However, this may be contributed to the fact he (Asplund) is a good two-way player with good sense. Nonetheless, the Sabres do receive something of a gift, a player who can play the games in both ways. Is it a win? The jury's still out currently. We'll have to wait to see what both of these players accomplish.
