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

[Cardiac Jerks]

This could be as bad as the filip Forsberg erat debacle.

Not a good comparison at all.

This could be as bad as the filip Forsberg erat debacle.

This would be a more apt comparison if Rask was 10 years older than Nino.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Anyone else find these two teams very similar. Often on the bubble...making the playoffs here and there but cant get over that hump.

Not even remotely similar. Canes haven't made the playoffs in 10 years. The Wild have made the playoffs the last 6 seasons in a row. Minnesota is a veteran team that signed some key players via free agency where-as the Canes are a very young team that until this year, barely dipped into free agency.

EDIT: others beat me to it.

Brutal trade. Fenton's gonna have to do something positive for that franchise soon or the heats going to get turned up.

Poor Fenton. He's turned idiot, but he can pour drinks like there's no tomorrow.

Why does Minnesota insist on being this way. I’m never going to see a really good wild team in my life. I can’t think of one single wild team that was ever seriously considered a contender (except for maybe the 2016-2017 team that lost in 5 games in the 1st round).

So far, total win by Carolina on this trade.

Get lost buddy !

Minnesota has as many players from that Cup team as Carolina does at this point.

Nah we still got Brindy behind the bench too

You're taking the life - and the hockey discussion boards - way too seriously.

get a life !

I assumed that’s the one he was talking about. Who else is still on your roster from 05-06?

 

[Sota Popinski]

Well, except Carolina has held up Stanley.

Minnesota never has.

Winning mentality begets winning

You're using Carolina and winning mentality in the same sentence?

Carolina has an entire team of certified reiki practitioners making sure that the proper transmission of Winning Mentality is maintained from year to year.

Justin Williams

Good call, he provides Carolina with at least 120 more ermblats of Winning Mentality than Minnesota.

Neiderrieter has been amazing with the Canes, he and Aho play well together. Neiderrieter is an excellent 2 way player with good instincts and can finish. Total fleece job by the Canes.

 

[Engebretson]

At this point, who is still arguing that the Canes didn’t win this trade?

 

[Dr Quincy]

I guarantee you Rask will be a different player under his utilization in Minnesota with Boudreau.. In fact he has the skillset and head to be a good player under the right system, coach, and with the right opportunity, I think for sure he's getting 2/3 and there's a good chance he'll flourish in Minnesota.

What do I get if your guarantee is wrong?

If I'm right you quit Hfboards, if I'm wrong I quit hfboards. Want to sack up?

Define exactly what a "different player" means. He's a 39 pt per 82 games player over his career. That pace would be 16 or 17 pts for the remainder of the season in MINN. How many points is "different". 20? 25? 30? Or do you mean to judge by something other than points. Be specific.

Funny that guy never got back to me. Wish he would've "sacked up" on this one.

we didn't even score a moral victory. until he does something like a series winning goal...then we'll call it equitable. lol "until".

 

[JetsFan815]

As I mentioned on the day this trade was made, this is "Eberle for Strome" all over again, maybe even worse than that as Nino is a much more complete player than Eberle.

 

[CartographerNo611]

Is Rask still missing the net with his shots lmao. Guy has all the razzle dazzle and no finish.

LOL brutal

Rask doesn't have one single ounce of razzle dazzle in his entire body. Not even when he was good, did he have razzle dazzle.

Waddell just made up for sinking the Thrashers.
