Waived: Victor Rask (Minnesota)

[PettersonHughes]

What's his most suitable playing style/ role? Somewhere I read he's a defense-first C, but is he "defense-first" like Chris Tanev (smarts and good stick ahead of physicality) or Brandon Tanev (hustle, hitting, high energy)?

Neither. His best role with minnesota has. Been happened to skate in front of the net while Kaprizov makes a ridiculous play.

He isnt that good . I doubt anyone claims him.

 

[Manhattan]

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

But is that pick worth the 1-2 millions dollars he will cost the Canadiens?

Negative.

He’s REALLY good! Someone should claim him

Lol your previous post described his offensive ability, but sounded like he's not really a defensive presence?

he's not awful defensively. He tries. Bob Gainey, he is not.

rask clearing waivers is like getting the winning powerball ticket numbers the day after the drawing

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

By my count, 30 different veteran players with a cap hit >= $2 mil were waived over the past 365 days. Just 1 was claimed.

Spoiler

Sami Vatanen

6 points in 26 games is the good part? How bad has he been!? I used to have high hopes for that kid.

Now that he's in hockey's version of witness relocation, will Victor Task be a better player than Victor Rask?
