You may know the name Rau. If you are a hockey fan in Minnesota, and don't know the name Rau, you may not be paying close enough attention. Chad, and his brother Kyle, were both leaders at Eden Prairie High School, one of the premier programs in the state. Cake eaters, both of them.
I kid.
All that really matters? He is Minnesotan, and will wear number 36. If you somehow want more, make the jump.

Seems like he has a head on his shoulders, if nothing else.
He can hit an open net. That's something.
Where Will He Slot In?
As mentioned before the jump, he isn't a savior. If he were, he would already be up, right? Still, he can be an NHL forward if he plays his game the way he plays it in Houston. It's good to get him a chance to show if he has it or not. If he plays, look for him to be on the second line, with maybe some power play time. It just doesn't make much sense to bring him up with Ortmeyer and then stick them both on the fourth line.
We'll see, though.
