I've actually really liked Rask in CAR and think playing with Panarin could revitalize his career. Plus we'd need a stopgap 2C too.

He's actually decent offensively but his skating is beer league level. Not to mention he doesn't really seem to care that his NHL career is in jeopardy, there isnt much fight in him. I don't think he's more than a 4th liner at this point.

Oof. Knowing NYR's management they wouldn't touch him lol. They despise those type of players.

He belongs in Europe. I don't think any team is doing us any favors and taking him, especially with a flat cap

Thats an insane overpay for Kuznetsov. Hes terrible defensively, cant drive play and does cocaine. The Wild are better off finding a guy in free agency or offersheeting Barzal/Cirelli

The problem with Kuzy isn't that he does cocaine, that ****'s everywhere in the NHL and we really shouldn't care what these guys do on their own time. It's that he's dumb enough to get caught that's troubling.

Not just the NHL, drug use is a lot more prevalent in other sports and hell even the world than most people want to admit.
