Rasmus Asplund is an interesting prospect in the 2016 draft class. Overshadowed in Europe by guys like Matthews and Laine, he grabbed attention at the World Juniors when William Nylander went down with a concussion, putting Asplund into the top line for Team Sweden. Scoring three goals and contributing five assists, Asplund received praise for his defensive play and skating ability, and has continued to impress as he returned to Farjestad.
