Unlike with Kevin Fiala, Victor Rask‘s trade value will remain low and for obvious reasons. The Wild have seldomly used him this season and that has led to him being waived and later assigned to the Taxi Squad. It has taken injuries to mount up for the Wild to even play him. At this point, Rask is a shell of his former self from when he played in Carolina and I almost think any team that would look to acquire him will not only buy low but the Wild may have to almost pay a team to take him.
