EDGE Analysis

Rask appeared in 47 games between the Wild and the Kraken last year, logging nine goals and 12 assists. The 29-year-old Swede will look to compete for a bottom-six role with the Blue Jackets in training camp, though he may have to settle for a two-way contract at best.

EDGE Analysis

By now, the book is written on Rask -- he's a solid secondary scorer with no physicality and not much speed. He's done well in his career to make the most of low shot totals. The 29-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent this summer if he doesn't put pen to paper on a new deal with the Kraken. Wherever he plays in 2022-23, he'll likely serve as no more than a middle-six option who is often a candidate to get scratched if he slumps given that he doesn't bring enough intangibles to command a full-time role.
