I was hoping for a $4.75m/yr contract (Chris Kreider). So it seems about a half million too high too me. I'm not unhappy with it though.
Nino needs to become a PKer, not the guy that gets sent to the penalty box when there is a bench penalty. Haula/Hanzal and Pommer are gone, so someone has to step up and fill that void on the PK. Ennis, Foligino, Stewie, and Zucker don't really fit the bill; and JEE is a rookie.
He drives possession, but he gets a lot of favorable matchups to help with that. I like Nino a lot, and think he's part of the future of the organization. I just want to see him be an all situations player. Not the limited minutes guy that needs some protected minutes.
