Rashford Trying to Avoid Being League's Most Useless Player

It's never an accolade that a player wants in their career, but occasionally it's unavoidable. David Rashford, forward for the Moscow Menace, has endured his fair share of struggles in his rookie season in the VHL which is not unexpected. No one has high hopes for his career but it was thought that he could at least be a serviceable piece on a championship contender - a stark contrast to his output this season thus far. He is currently in the running for the League's Most Useless Player award putting up a solid -22 through 34 games. He currently sits 13th last in +/- but does not have the output that some of the other contenders have. Take his teammates Jeff Lewis and Fraser Wallace for example, who have worse +/- ratings but have put up 28 and 30 points respectively. Rashford, for comparison, has 13 points. Thankfully for Rashford he's shown small signs of improvement lately so he has a chance to take himself out of contention. Another positive is that he is not on pace to match last year's award winner, Timothy Swearingen, who was a remarkable -70 in 72 games.
