This is a very even trade to be fair. Overall Rask has a better PPG and is a centre.

Nino has not been delivering the numbers expected of him. 1 awesome season but thats it.

Rask is younger and a change of scenery may be best for both players.

Good trade for both teams. Not as one sided as people think

Carolina is going to be really good in a year or so...

said everyone for the last 10 years

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Makes up for the Skinner trade. Well kinda.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

That’s a hell of a trade for Carolina. I know Nino has fallen off a good bit but... wow.

 

[BusQuets]

I'd have taken a 5th round pick for Rask. Getting Nino is amazing.

Injuries have slowed him down a lot. You aren't getting the Nino from two years ago. He has been bounced from spot to spot in the line-up much like Rask for Carolina.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Dammit I wanted Nino.

 

[glucker]

Waddel got his top-6 forward without giving up a dman. Good move.

 

[Kamiccolo]

What changed in the last week or so that all these trades (even if many are minor) are happening now?

Teams trying to figure out if their team is a playoff team who needs a poke or a non playoff team before the deadline so they can plan appropriately .

 

[Captain Mountain]

This seems really bad for Minny. I guess they were desperate for center depth, but damn.

 

[CROCODILE SEATS]

We got railed here, our new GM is a dipshit. Gonna be a long few years...

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

been a minute since the last big trade, woof.

 

[780il]

Great trade for Carolina

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Nothing to see here folks..

Now if you will all join me back to the del zotto for luke schenn thread...

 

[BusQuets]

Waddel got his top-6 forward without giving up a dman. Good move.

Nino is not top-6 forward anymore.

 

[PK Cronin]

I like this for both teams. Another change of scenery for Nino, worked like a charm last time he was traded. On the other hand, it's a very defendable trade by the Wild. They have so many pieces, but have yet to find the right mix. Maybe this helps.

This is a pretty risky move, not quite sure how Rask was the best offer available.

Don't you mean - Worth the...Rask?

Yes. Yes I did. Thank you for that.

Lmao why..

I mean I guess if you're playing in a 20 team league

 

[Rob Brown]

Good deal for the Canes.

 

[cwede]

Isn’t Rask a cap dump?

both signed thru '22,

Nino for $5.25M,
Nino Niederreiter - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

Rask for $4.00M
Victor Rask - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

 

[JackFr]

Holy shit the Canes robbed the Wild. Jesus Christ.

Rask is barely an NHL player.

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

Wow the Wild got hosed in this deal. Thanks Carolina.

 

[WhiteTrashAmerican]

I'm pretty surprised we got anything at all for Rask. I thought he would be unmovable. He has truly been not NHL caliber this year. I see why MN did this I suppose, though. Cheaper player and if he gets a good fresh start they can save some money

 

[MAHJ71]

worth the risk for the canes. goddamn

Risk? lol...

 

[KevSkillz4]

Good trade Minnesota. Rask is underrated.
