On March 18, the Carolina Hurricanes take on the New York Islanders, with a chance for some players to prove themselves before the off-season comes around. A few names to watch for the Canes before the conclusion of the regular season includes Victor Rask, Elias Lindholm, Justin Faulk, Derek Ryan, and Noah Hanifin. Of all those players for the Canes, Rask has one of the bigger spotlights on him due to his decline http://www.officialravensshop.com/matt-judon-jersey-c-1_6.html in production this season. Both Faulk and Rask are in the midst of either their worst season statistically since debuting in the NHL, or close to it. Rask is on pace for slightly under 35 points.
However, two seasons ago, Canes fan thought they saw what could be a potential star forward in Rask, when he registered 21 goals and 48 points in 2015-16. Yet, Rask fell pretty far since then. His point total dropped by three last season, and looks to drop at least 12 this time around.
The advantage for Carolina’s front office here is that Rask still carries a good amount of value on http://www.lionsofficialstore.com/michael-roberts-jersey-c-2_40.html the trade market, similar to Faulk. If the Canes decide to move in a different direction from forwards like Rask and Lindholm, and defensman like Faulk, they could get a solid return.
Carolina head coach Bill Peters used Rask mainly as a center this season. He’s floated between the Tavon Wilson Womens Jersey second and third forward lines, with a number of different wingers alongside him. Yet, his plus/minus line is not too shabby, at -1, considering the goal differential for the entire team this season is a dreary -32.
As long as the Canes could get something in return, a move to Sharrif Floyd Youth Jersey deal Rask seemingly benefits the organization altogether. He’s about to enter his prime years or production, and he’s moving in the wrong direction in Raleigh.
