Plan the Parade!!

Nieto becomes the 120 pt forward we need

 

[henchman21]

This is a good move. If he can click here, he can be a bottom 6 player for the next few years. If he doesn't, he can be let go. Almost no downside to picking him up.

 

[tucker3434]

I don't suppose it's pronounced neat-o.

 

[Freudian]

Can we fast forward a few months. It's going to be hard for Nieto to do much surrounded with the bottom six players currently on the team. Several of them just have to go and make room for players who want to win hockey games.

 

[Sea Eagles]

I wonder who will make way for Nieto? I have an eerie feeling Mitchell may be on a plane to San Antonio. Thought's?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Doesn't someone have to be sent down or waived to make room?

Hopefully Soderberg or Colborne. Both of them are deadweights who we're stuck with for another year or two, give them a bit of a wakeup call.

Likely Varly to IR for a couple days.

Our bottom two left wingers are Comeau and Mcleod (or Colborne when Mcleod is scratched). BUT, Mitchell already cleared waivers.

You can tell by the way the AVS are playing that the effort just isn't there and the entire team has a "we no longer give a ****" attitude. I'm skeptical that bringing any new player in this mess will help in any way, shape or form other than ultimately corrupting him as well. It would be better to bring in 4 or 5 new players at the time to make an actual boom in the locker room and hope for a change of attitude/mentality, but it is what it is.

Anyway its a no risk, potentially good reward pick up. Happy.

Good point, and a clear message. Time to start the accountability train. Salary and tenure shouldn't matter anymore. You play at 85%, you're gone should be the motto from here.

110% balls to the wall every shift. Hold your line-mate and team-mates accountable. Their lazy play is affecting your form, and income earning capacity.

Soderberg signed for 5 years. I'm afraid there's more than "a year or two" left.

Actually sounds like they have sent Smith back.

Accountability train went out the window in that one game where Como took like 4 penalties and played a regular shift. It was on display last night though when TV said Como was benched after taking penalties? Bednar has said that some of the guys on the team are taking playing in the NHL for granted. Bednar knows that there are a bunch of 'I am Legend" zombie balls to the wall wannabe NHL players who are dying for a shot to get in the show. I kinda wish he brought G.Bork back up to play on the 4th line. Dude is small but he gives it his all every shift unlike Charmin and Scott.

 

[missionAvs]

I actually like this move. Pretty much no risk for a potentially decent bottom 6 player. We're playoff bound for sure now.

 

[The Kingslayer]

What is Nieto's Columbus connection? Does he have property in Ohio? 3rd cousin owns a body shop in Columbus?

 

[JoemAvs]

Nieto!


Now all the suckage was worth it.

Who needs a McDavid or Patrick when it can land you a Nieto?


Good move though.

Happy that they seem to have a pulse.

85%?! Lol on the best day of their lives some of these guys aren't at 85% effort.

But yes, Mitchell, Grigorenko, Colborne, Soderberg, Tyutin, Beauchemin - all should be demoted. If they're claimed, even better.

1.8 + 1.3 + 2.5 + 4.75 + 2.0 + 4.5.... we are collectively paying these guys $16.85 million this year and have in total been rewarded with 13 goals through half a god damn season. Makes me want to throw up in my mouth.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Sharks fan hoping he plays well for you. Will play hard, he's very fast but really has no hands.

But you will like him just on his speed and effort.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Poor Nieto

Always liked the guy in SJ, will be happy to see an actual bottom-6er playing in the bottom 6 for once.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

I'll take speed over the slow, useless players we have in the bottom 6 right now.
