There are several parallels between Nino Niederreiter before his trade to the Wild and Victor Rask before his trade to the Wild. Both came from situations in which they had struggled; Nino had 3 points in 64 games with the Islanders. Rask has averaged around 37 points per season (playing 6 more minutes per game than Nino did). Both were traded for a fan favorite player- Nino for Cal Clutterbuck and Rask for, obviously, Niederreiter. Both players were touted as high-upside and in need of a scene change.
Fenton is Hoping Rask will be the next Niederreiter, and he’s wrong.
