Confirmed with Link: WPG acquiring Nino Niederreiter from NASH for a 24 2nd

[JetsFan815]

Cool. Nashville fans were expecting Samberg so I am glad it's just a second. Jets can probably recoup some of that price flipping him at the deadline next season. That said if things go pear shaped next season and we move out a bunch of guys, that 2nd could be a high second.

Better a move like this than Meier/Chychrun and sacrifice all our good picks/prospects.

 

[DRW204]

Brings some size and bite to the top 6 along with scoring. Nice add.

 

[snowkiddin]

Clever trade. Provides some much needed scoring depth and if things don’t work out, the Jets can likely recoup the 2nd next year at the deadline, given Nino’s extra year. Basically a free rental at worst. Well done.

 

[MardyBum]

I hate Niederreiter! Great pick up!!!

EDIT: hate(d)

He would always throw chippy shots at our players. We're gonna love him in the playoffs lol

 

[Fatdrunk]

so who do we think will be taken out of the top 6 now

Apples

 

[Jet]

Got the Great Value Timo Meier. Store brand Swiss winger.

He was born in CZE!?

 

[bustamente]

Picking up Nino nice pick up, not giving up any prospects even better. Guy brings some snarl

 

[MardyBum]

We all know what a pain in the ass annoyance Nino can be.

 

[tbcwpg]

He was born in CZE!?

They both represent Switzerland.

 

[Channelcat]

Exactly what the dr ordered. Now we need 3 or 4 more of him

 

[Jet]

They both represent Switzerland.

Oh right, isn't Meier German?

 

[CorgisPer60]

There we go. That's a positive first step. Chevy couldn't sit around and wait. You need more than one big piece. Nino fits into that window.

 

[bustamente]

Finally a guy who finishes his checks, hope he rubs off on some of our players and continues to rub the opposing teams the wrong way

 

[Slimy Sculpin]

He was born in CZE!?

I believe that you're correct.

 

[cg98]

Great trade, with $4mil still left over we can fill it out with Barabanov and Bjugstad and call it a day

 

[objectiveposter]

only a second round pick for a solid 2nd line player with 1 year remaining and a reasonable salary?
this is a homerun for chevy

 

[mondo3]

Another pickup by Chevy of a player no one discussed as a trade possibility

 

[MardyBum]

Probably my favourite TDL pickup since Stastny. Didn't think Demelo would re-sign or he'd be there.

 

[Gurilla]

Seems like anytime we played him he would end up on the scoresheet, good to have him on our side

 

[DRW204]

Friedman brought him up for the devils a couple days ago

Nino is like a bootleg meier as @tbcwpg brought up. Not surprised Wpg possibly being out on meier and goes for nino.

Another pickup by Chevy of a player no one discussed as a trade possibility

 

[KingBogo]

The vast majority opinion of fans across the league, seem to see it as a very good trade by Winnipeg. Good job Chevy!

 

[enuffidiotsalready]

Chevy is the one who knocks

 

[bustamente]

Chevy flying under the radar and keeping his cards hidden

 

[howkie]

I like it, I always liked Nino, so perfect

 

[AlphaLackey]

I knew it, when Chevy bailed on the game early, it was to roll his damn sleeves up. I said in the GDT that it’s his time to shine and he’s off to a great start with that pickup. Room for one more good acquisition too, at least
