Confirmed with Link: Canes get Niederreiter for Rask!?!?

[Lempo]

Nino will sleep with everyone's wife and sister down there, and make you all feel bad. He will also insult the quality of your BBQ, and vote Communist while wearing an Iron Maiden T shirt.

Send him back to us and we will send Rask back, in pieces if you wish. This is one time offer, and will expire in three years, so hurry, and act fast!

Um. Am I appropriating if I make the joke that everyone's wife is their sister round here so it's only half that bad?

 

[Bazeek]

Well. Thanks for your tip but do you really think I need to tell a Wild fan what Boudreau said? They know that better than me and if not, they'll probably find those quotes much faster than me.
I can give you some of what I found with a quick search but it's in German. I read similar stuff in English...some of those are actually quotes from interviews Nino gave in English.

Kurzurlaub in Jamaika - Niederreiter: «Der Trade war das Beste, was mir passieren konnte»
«Nino ist ein grossartiger Transfer für uns»

Thank you.

The quote from Bruce about not being as good on the right side are just Bruce. This fall he said the exact opposite: that he liked Nino on the right because it gave him more shooting options. Did he actually think that? Probably not, but he had to put together a top-9 with 8 left-shot forwards and justify the decisions to the press. He's had similar quotes about Coyle: whether he likes him more at wing or center largely depends on where he needs to play him that week.

I also don't really fault Nino for the trust comments. I sort of get why Zucker's been stapled to Granlund this year, but the fact that Nino never got a shot in that spot still bugs me. It's not like Zucker's been lighting the league on fire this year there.

This is all just typical roster squeeze stuff though: multiple parties trying to make an awkward situation work. It doesn't mean there's anything personal going on.

 

[My Special Purpose]

Ehh, you're wrong. EVERYONE liked Nino in MN, even the management.

Hinterland? Wrong? Surely you jest.

 

[Hinterland]

Thank you.

I don't think it's personal either...but definitely a certain amount of frustration from both sides that they cannot hide. Fenton was pretty desperate to lose Nino...and I don't think he's done. But we'll see about this.

Why would we feel bad?

Unfortunately I do agree with this.

I don't have a wife, but I would get married just so Nino could sleep with her.

 

[raynman]

Why would we feel bad?

I don’t have a wife/gf and my sister doesn’t live on this side of the country so I’d feel bad.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I have a wife but my sisters don't live anywhere near NC.

 

[Lempo]

I don't have a wife, but I would get married just so Nino could sleep with her.

Can you please propose publicly in a game at PNC?

"Cheryl... I hear Nino sleeps with everyone's wife. I want him to stay long-term, and you're the hottest girl I know, so..."

 

[Jon Riley]

I know, it's kind of strange. If I could switch, I would, just like I would stop torturing myself with Newcastle if i could. Certainly will be onboard the Cane Train come the playoffs.

I think i'll join too, if it's not of disturb. I'm clean, polite and you won't even notice me. I'll be the guy standing in the corner with a lampshade on his head that you pretend he's not there because seriously who the f*** is that guy with the lampshade on his head and for how long has he been in our house?

 

[MinJaBen]

Why would we feel bad?

Well, not all of us are into that...

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I have a wife but my sisters don't live anywhere near NC.

We all know you have a wife BBA

 

[Lempo]

We all know you have a wife BBA

It's probably good that you didn't put there an easy ftfy option to add 'biblically'.

 

[SaskCanesFan]

I don't have a wife, but I would get married just so Nino could sleep with her.

Maybe you could borrow BBA's hotwife for this circumstance..?

 

[Unsustainable]

I have a wife but my sisters don't live anywhere near NC.

Hotwife reference some where

 

[Wolfpuck]

2 more goals for NotRask

 

[57special]

Ok Nino, we get it. You're better than Rask. Stop rubbing it in.

Signed,
MN Wild fans

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

This is unbelievable. Aho’s line owned McD tonight. Nino - Aho - Willy has some cycle and chemistry going on. Ferland and TT are mind melding too. Nice having two lines that can score

 

[HisIceness]

I like this Nino Niederreiter guy.

I hope you all like him too.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Nino has as many goals in 12 games with us as Rask has points in 36 games this year.

 

[Highest Boss]

I think we should lock this thread. As a fan base we're spiking the football on this one and it makes me nervous.

Meh, it doesn't really matter. No matter what we say or do, this pace won't continue forever. Might as well enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Maybe I'm just not used to nice things

 

[A Star is Burns]

I don't recall seeing it mentioned much, but I think it's also fun to remember that Fenton was one of the guys we pursued and he pulled himself out of consideration, probably contributing to much of the angst over our GM search. And the guy nobody wanted fleeced him.
