Off to a good start? Do you guys see any future for him in this club?
Doubtful.

He doesn't do all that much that couldn't be done by someone else, cheaper.

He's just caught on a pair of coattails at this point that are making him more tolerable as a player for the time being.

I don't have any desire to keep the guy around, but he's currently doing something that none of the other centers can.

None of them on our active roster, sure... but what I mean is, what he brings is easily replaceable by someone else who is cheaper.

Alot of the previous posts on Rask seem negative. As of right now he doesn't seem to be that bad, 7 points in 12 games.

Its too bad that Rask is so slow. As far as stick work and defensive positioning he is actually pretty good, he just cant keep up on the offensive side of the puck.

Victor Rask is where goals and plays go to die. I don't get where the occasional Kap magic happens with him, but I'm pretty tired of seeing passes from him that are in the wrong zip code, whiffs on pucks, turnovers and him losing board battles. How he's lasted in this league this long is mind blowing. 95% of the time he is a vortex on the ice for quality play. I would like for him to not be on this team. A lot.

He makes some bad plays, but I don't think he's as miserable as most people around here. Most of his goals actually happen in pretty big spots. He won't be around after this season.

From Russo's EDM gamer in the Athletic,

"There’s a group of Rask fans who, during every home game, go down to the lower bowl, stand by the glass and hold up Rask signs. They wear Rask jerseys. They host a podcast called the “RaskCast.” "

those guys are hilarious on twitter wild posts. If the mnwild twitter accounts posts anything about Rask they go crazy in the replies.

For some reason seeing that Rask has a fanclub makes my day better.
