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

[Engebretson]

Both guys were struggling the last couple of years. Hopefully both guys jumpstart their careers in their new homes.

wtf. what a steal for the canes

 

[POVERTY]

Carolina is going to be really good in a year or so...

Is this a repost

Jk, good trade for the Canes

 

[DRW204]

Lmao why..

I mean I guess if you're playing in a 20 team league

the post-carolina breakout.... skinner & lindholm having career years away from CAR. I expect rask to be ppg from here on out

 

[BusQuets]

Lot of posters here haven't watched Wild i see. Nino has been trash for two seasons now while getting to play with guys like Staal,Koivu and Granlund. He has lost his skating and shot.

 

[EON]

This is a massive W for Carolina wow.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Did Chia become GM of the Wild?

 

[krutovsdonut]

not a hockey trade. seems like a trade by minny to salvage value for a guy who was not getting out of the doghouse with the current coach.

 

[Lempo]

Nino is not top-6 forward anymore.

He is in Carolina.

 

[Brock Anton]

Good trade Minnesota. Rask is underrated.

He is in Carolina.

They are probably not making the playoffs then.

With all the love for the canes I’m expecting Rask to put up 50points in minny... that’s just the way it works here at hf

 

[Deficient Mode]

This is amazing for the Canes.

 

[Brock Anton]

Thinking it over more, this probably adds more credence to the speculation that Ferland is on the way out.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Unless the Canes retain 50% on Rask that’s a steal

 

[Savant]

This is a very good deal for Carolina, but I think it means Ferland is gone. Which sucks.

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

Unless the Canes retain 50% on Rask that’s a steal

No salary retained at all lmao

 

[HighLifeMan]

I don't think it's as bad as the majority of you are claiming. Nino is overrated based on that one 57 point season. He leaves you wanting more on a consistent basis.

Rask may very well bounce back in a new environment. Everyone who leaves Carolina recently seemingly does.

In saying that, it's a deal that makes a ton of sense for Carolina and clearly a deal they couldn't reject.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

This isn't nearly as good of a deal for Carolina as people think. Nino has been complete garbage for 2 years now.


This is essentially garbage for garbage until one of these 2 guys prove otherwise. My money is on neither guy proving to be worth anything.

Nino is not top-6 forward anymore.

40 point pace, pretty damn good fancy stats... I think that slots him in as a top-6 forward on a number of teams.

 

[JackFr]

This is a very even trade to be fair. Overall Rask has a better PPG and is a centre.

Nino has not been delivering the numbers expected of him. 1 awesome season but thats it.

Rask is younger and a change of scenery may be best for both players.

Good trade for both teams. Not as one sided as people think

What the hell are you talking about Rask has a lower PPG than Niederreiter each of the past 3 seasons while being an utterly miserable drain on possession. He's worse than Brandon Sutter.

Niederreiter is having a mediocre season but he was great last year. On top of that, he has had fantastic underlying numbers in the past. This is a massive win for the Canes.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Seems like a steal for the Canes.

 

[Seachd]

Nino is not top-6 forward anymore.

Where’s the dislike button?

Why don't you give me the lotto numbers while you're at it, Nostradamus.

40 points gets you top-6 spot? I feel for those teams then.
