Rasmus Asplund Called Up

[Doohicksie]

He's looking increasingly comfortable at the NHL level.  I think he's ready.

Robby Fabbri would have helped the Sabres.

Is he the top 6 forward they need?

I would worry about his injury history, but at this point, it seems every Sabres forward is going to be injured.

So does anyone want to offer up an opinion on Asplund?

He looks like his floor will be Larsson's replacement at 4C and hopefully quality 3C on a 2 way competent line (like a poor man's Drury).

Would not be surprised to see him stay up all season unless the much hoped trade for a F happens or they miraculously get fully healthy at F.  (He's last Amerk sent back if they ALL get sent down.  Would keep him up ahead of Thompson.)

So, it appears Murray actually hit on 2 picks after the 1st round.
