Confirmed Trade: [CAR/MIN] Nino Niederreiter for Victor Rask

[rynryn]

i have seen zero evidence of razzle dazzle.

Absolutely disgusting trade by the Wild. Fenton should be ashamed.

 

[Kegsey]

Going on like the 5th year this has been said.

More like second. People have said "the Canes will be good in a few years" but they've realistically been pegged at middle/bottom of the league for a while. Nice try inciting arguments though.

I guess I stand corrected. Thanks for the insight.

Imagine getting owned by the guy that traded Skinner for Cliff Pu

 

[Thrasymachus]

Which is worse

Clutterbuck for Nino, or Rask for Nino?

 

[Son of Petter]

Ooof, great question.

Which is worse

Clutterbuck for Nino, or Rask for Nino?

 

[Thrasymachus]

I am asking because although Clutter is far from Nino talent wise, he is a role-player and does a good job for us as a checking defensive forward

From the sounds of it Rask is a top six player but lacks the talent to actually put up points. Reminds me of Ryan Strome

its gotta be clutter, nino looked okay at the time but he seemed to be uninspiring towards the end of his tenure with the wild

Hockey gods had to make up for the Hamilton and Skinner trades. Seriously, everyone said this was bad for minny and was right from the beginning.

I love my wife very much but I think she’d understand if Sara Civ for whatever reason wanted to steal me away

 

[The don godfather]

I've seen this scenario before with Seguin Eriksson trade. People in minny will look at rask as always the one who gave up a stud like nino. Rask will be sent packing in a year or two. Very unfortunate. Fenten lost big here.

Based on earlier posts, it’s more likely that Nino steals your wife.

Lol. Maybe more likely that Nino steals me

10/10 would smash

Nice! We can be super smash bros!

We’re actually quite happy with Dougie. Dude is in beast mode since getting over his injury. Makes me say “Noah who?”

I mean Lindy has 66 pts. Love ferly and all, but if he's walking at the end of the year, that hurts.

Clutterbuck for Nino, or Rask for Nino?

Clutterbuck is a squad player and still with the organisation, wheras Rask was scratched yesterday. Both are bad but you be the judge over which is the worst. I don't think either Fenton or Snow had much of a market to deal with, which begs the question why they felt forced to deal him in the first place.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

nvm..

Maybe. You are forgetting a couple things though.

1) Adam Fox. I realize he still has to sign, but the IMO, the difference between Lindy being signed for 5 years and Ferland being a UFA is a top prospect like Fox. And before you say "But Fox wasn't going to sign with us anyway", he still holds value in a deal. IF he does sign in in Carolina, holds even more value to them.

2) I liked Lindy a lot, but I'd also contend that there is no chance that Lindy is the same player he is in Calgary if he stayed in Carolina. Obviously no way to prove it, but we've got 5 years of data that says otherwise.

No doubt the early returns favor the Flames, but assuming that Lindholm would have the same production in Carolina is flawed, as is not waiting to see what happens with Fox.

 

[dogbazinho]

Calgary trade is in the realm of a realistic trade that came out favoring one side. Rask/Nino and Skinner/Pu trades are robberies.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Maybe there is more to this trade than meets the eye. Maybe there was an internal locker room issue?

I dunno, seems pretty dumb if it isn't something dire.

If the Skinner trade was a 1st (even if it was ST. Louis's or SJ's) or a better prospect than Pu (a 2nd+3rd + good prospect), I'd have been 100% fine with it. Hard to get a fair deal though when there is only 1-2 teams to deal with. There's no way the Canes were re-signing Skinner so they had to get something for him.
