Really carved out a role on the Avs third line last season and potted 15 goals.

 

[Patagonia]

Great pickup and fits nicely with the team. So happy in his extension.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Good for the LBN Matt Nieto

 

[hamzarocks]

Seems like a good deal. Cheap contract for a player that got 15 goals.

 

[One Winged Angel]

I like him as a bottom-6 guy. Good deal.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Solid, nieto is a very solid third liner.

 

[Freudian]

Considering he had a 15 goal season, he would have gotten this in arbitration.

Fun fact: did you know Matt Nieto is from Long Beach, California?

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Not that I hate the signing or anything about it, but those praising his 15 goals. He had an early season hat trick and I'd be curious to see the stats on how many were empty netters. IMO him and Comeau held back Soderberg offensively, but they were a responsible defensive line.

[Spender]

Perhaps a tad much for the player he is, but happy to have him back!

Nieto had 3 ENGs on the season. But, career highs in goals and points was a nice surprise from a guy who should be in the bottom 6, and was claimed off waivers.

the fact he is from Long Beach, California, alone should earn him a 5M contract. that is huge steal for the Avs.
