The Minnesota Wild have placed forward Victor Rask on waivers today. As reported by Chris Johnston, he joins Gemel Smith (Det) and Connor Bunnaman (PHI) as the three players waived this Friday.
With the recent form of the Flyers and the clear lack of quality exposed in the game against Washington, would Victor Rask be able to help the Philadelphia Flyers?
The 28-year-old Swede was drafted in the second round, 42nd overall by the Carolina Hurricanes in 2011. Since then he has had one 20-goal season and one 16-goal season. His numbers have been declining ever since 2015-2016.

This season, Rask has 5 goals and 8 assists for 13 points in 29 games. His NHL totals include 215 points in 488 games played, with 85 of them being goals.
This is the last year of a 6-year, $24 million contract he signed in the summer of 2016, meaning should he be claimed on waivers, his contract would be off the books this summer. Any team looking to give him a second chance may find this a risk worth taking.
He will be a UFA by the end of this season.
