finally a Niederreiter Card, BUT he isn't on Minnesota since 18/19 ... he's on Winnipeg now

The Pinnacle event highlights players in their primes. That's why Niederreiter got a Minnesota card. It it was a Winnipeg card, it would be against the idea of the Pinnacle event.

thanks, that makes even less sense, since Niederreiter's prime was with Carolina.

What do you mean by "even less sense"? Minnesota definitely makes more sense than Winnipeg considering the idea of the Pinnacle event. Don't you agree on that?

As for why EA chose Minnesota over Carolina, I don't know. Just by looking at Niederreiter's stats it doesn't seem like an unreasonable choice and it seems like both Carolina and Minnesota were valid options. But I'm pretty sure you know more about Niederreiter's career than I do, so I respect your opinion that Carolina would have been a better choice than Minnesota and I have no reason to disagree on that. EA just had a different opinion for some reason. I don't know why.
