Confirmed with Link: Canes get Niederreiter for Rask!?!?

[Navin R Slavin]

Ah ha you hot pepper eating fools! All Nino can do is score goals, while we have ...RASK, the hockey ninja, who has MASTERED the ART of INVISIBILITY!

We gave away Skinner for magic beans. You gave away Nino for magic beans.

All I know is, you owe somebody some magic beans.

 

[DaveG]

I think the answer is Buffalo... unless Buffalo gave away someone for magic beans.

Skinner for Rask.

Basilisk, Victorask.

Also,

Anyway this hot pepper, bean talk is making me hungry. There's the extra plate of chili con carne in the fridge that my work buddy yanked up in the evening shift, but I shouldn't go and touch that now as I already have eaten a bagful of food I reserved for the working stint foolishly thinking it would be enough.

 

[My Special Purpose]

I'm still confused by the number of Minnesota fans who claim Nino did nothing and was invisible when even before the trade he was a .5 PPG player THIS season. I understand he might not have taken the next step in his play and was disappointing in that regard, but he was still producing at a decent rate despite that. And then they get back a player who was doing worse and actually declining even more steeply in exactly the way they made it sound like Nino was doing. Tough crowd.

Yeah, we have a guy producing *slightly* better than that (.595 ppg) and we're throwing millions of dollars at him and he won't take it.

We're REALLY sorry dude.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

We're REALLY sorry dude.

Speak for yourself. I am not the least bit sorry.

 

[A Star is Burns]

We're REALLY sorry dude.

 

[Jerkob Slavin]

too soon.

This feels like the Ruutu - Ladd trade except Ladd wasn’t bad like Rask. He just hadn’t developed yet.

Nino seems like an awesome dude and has the tools to be a great physical player and producer like Ruutu was before his body turned to dust.

When we eventually trade a d + the picks and prospects acquired with the upcoming Ferland trade we can hopefully fill out the rest of the top 6.

Nino absolutely deserves top line minutes so Necas can make the jump and Svech continues to develop, you slot in a legit top 6 C or W and that is two very solid lines.

We have more than enough 3rd and 4th line players to play around with. D is set for a long time, just need to solidify the goalie situation.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Hey rask just scored for us. Goals are now only 5–1 in favor of Nino.

 

[Tryamw]

That's the one goal I expected so maybe he'll do much better then I expected but enjoy Rask.

 

[CandyCanes]

Hey rask just scored for us. Goals are now only 5–1 in favor of Nino.

We are really thankful for Nino. And I really do hope Rask becomes a serviceable player for you guys. He’s shown before that he can play at a pretty high level and score goals, it’s just that he hasn’t done that in a while. Plus he’s a super nice guy, I sure hope he continues to find success.

 

[Roboturner913]

plus his sister's name is Fanny and she looks exactly like him....although I suspect Victor actually IS Fanny. Have they even ever been seen together?

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I'm sure this trade will seem much more fair next year, when Rask isn't dealing with missing half a season with a hand injury.

She has pulled a polly oliver on us, even taunting us with having taken the man name from Victor/Victoria!

Why do I feel that your nose is growing while you are typing this, and you are giggling and mouthing words like, "Sucka!"

Completely sincere. He’s a serviceable player when healthy, but I don’t think it’s unfair to say that missing most of the season with a major injury has caused a marked decrease in his ability to play this year.

I expect him to bounce back next year, and since I expect Nino to come back down to earth at some point (if not this year than definitely next), I’m betting the trade will look much more even by next Feb (if not earlier).

 

[Joe McGrath]

Wrong thread.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

7 points in 8 games. 6 goals and the guy is playing smart, physical hockey. Unbelievable trade.

 

[HisIceness]

What the f*** why is this team making trades for productive players?

 

[Wolfpuck]

Dude, we got Nino straight up for Rask. The shock still hasn't fully worn off.

 

[57special]

7 points in 8 games. 6 goals .

Yeah, but that's just quantity. Rask is giving us ... quality?

 

[Vagrant]

i wonder if there's any part of ferland that could check out emotionally based on how obviously they traded for a similar profile guy and plugged him right into his lunch. surely it's just business?
