Rasmus Sandin and Mac Hollowell: A Q&A with former Soo Greyhounds coach Drew Bannister

When you guys secured Rasmus for the season on loan from the SHL, what kind of player did you think you were getting, what role did you think he was going to play for you, and did the season match the expectations or exceed them?

Bannister: First of all, I had the opportunity to see Rasmus first hand at the U18s because I was coaching with Team Canada over there at the Hlinka tournament in August.
