please claim him...

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

If Montreal can trade Chiarot or a forward by tonight, I think they'll claim him.

Retaining 50% on Rask at the deadline might be worth a free pick

 

[GuerinUp]

finally!

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

10 points in 21 games shouldn't get you waivef, I wonder if they are terminating his contract

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

my king

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

10 points in 21 games playing on 11 min a night on lower lines and no pp time... it's not terrible?

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Waiving him to kick him in the pants or to actually send him down?

EDIT: Forgot about the Taxi Squad. Could just be a paper move.

It's not terrible but there must be something up.

Stat watchers: don’t be decieved. he’s bad

 

[SI90]

Contract ends after this season and he’s about .5 PPG at $4mill AAV

am I missing something? Is he horrible defensively? Asking because stats need context

I wouldn't call being with most common linemate Fiala a 'lower line'.

Two of his top 3 forward linemates are Fiala and Kaprizov. He has no excuses. Victor Rask - Teammates - On Ice - Natural Stat Trick

he skates like he has cinder blocks behind him, and is gifted points by his teammates.

 

[ThatGuy22]

He's where plays go to die. He's just smart enough to be in front of the net most of the time when Kaprizov has the puck.

 

[Bazeek]

About 3 of those points came from a couple shifts played with Kaprizov and Zuccarello, and another couple came from playing with Fiala. He's not totally useless with skilled players, but you'd rather have someone else on a scoring line. And his skating has him chasing the play most of the time, regardless of what line he's on.

 

[Mister Ed]

Rossi is lighting it up in Iowa and has been recalled, Rask's time was up I suppose.

 

[Drewcifer]

One of the most awkward skaters I've ever seen in the NHL.

Yeah like Gaudreau or Foligno

ill personally drive rask to whatever team decides to grab him (if any)

If anyone was willing to give up a pick for Rask I'm sure the Wild would have already made that trade. Eriksson Ek is the only good center with NHL experience in the Wild's system, and still they put Rask on waivers. What does that tell you?

i mean hartman has proved he can play it quite well.

 

[Minnesota]

This pleases me greatly.

 

[Vitto79]

Does he stink now or it’s the cap hit ?

Wow, how he's fallen off from Carolina, where he skated like he had breezeblocks behind him and was gifted points by his teammate, solo teammate, Jeff Skinner.
