As previously mentioned, back-to-back picks are “in” this GM era, so here’s the second of our late first round 1-2 package:
With the 29th pick in the SBNation NHL Mock Draft, the Boston Bruins select Rasmus Asplund from Färjestad BK.
Why Rasmus? Well, his name is great, for one. For another, he’s a very promising prospect. Short version:
- He played all last year in the SHL and did alright for a kid. He’s 5’10” and 176 lbs, and his 4+8=12 over 46 games wasn’t exactly superstar material, but then again he’s only 18.
