Doesn't Nino play the same wing as Baertschi?
Yes, and we are loaded on LW.
The price is going to be too high for my tastes, if the Isles even agree to trade him.
Doesn't Nino play the same wing as Baertschi?
I like him, but we need centers and defensemen. Backlund+Butler+average prospect or 4th round pick for Nino + salary dump is what I would do.
What about Nemisz and Butler as a starting point? Nino does not have the value of the 5th overall in this upcoming draft. Maybe Feaster could sell them on Nemisz, hell throw in Howse to.
This isn't going to work for either club, obviously. If we were talking about Strome, that would be different. The Islanders need to be talking to clubs who need wingers and have defensemen to spare. The Rangers fits the bill IMO.
So you trade a center and a defenseman for a player we don't need?
To get Nino, I think it would cost Sven.
Which would be redundant at best lol.

I would get this guy in a heartbeat, like; this is a kid that has potential to be a real star in this league given the chance, he was showing in the AHL just what kind of skill he brings to the table. However, since he's done nothing at the NHL level, while having been up for 50+ games already; have to think you'd have to give a Turris type deal.
Have to look for a Turris type deal:
Turris for David Rundblad + 2nd.
So; if you kind of translate that to Calgary:
Nino for Brodie + 2nd; perhaps Brodie alone since he's proven he can play at the NHL level quite effectively.
It won't be free; and I think Flames fans need to realize you can't over value their own players, have to be willing to take a risk on this kid and gamble on some players we currently have.
I would gamble on Brodie becoming a #1 defenceman way before I would move him for a player who can't crack the ISLANDERS lineup! for goodness sakes this guy has less goals in the NHL than Baertschi! and he's only played 7 games!
I'm just saying, these trades that are like:
Nemisz, Butler, Bag of pucks for this kid won't happen.
I'm not saying that's what Calgary should do, it's what they'll have to do to make this trade.
Keep in mind, this kids AHL numbers are very, very good. And while he was brought up by NYI last year, he was buried quickly, I believe his Average TOI in his 60some odd NHL games is like 10 minutes, that's goon numbers; not top tier prospect time.
The thing about this trade, and the reason I'd like to see it happen (For I don't know what), is because it'd bring Calgary closer to a transition. Having Backlund, Sven, Nino and John Gaudreau is 4 young assets moving forward... Something we haven't had... since I can remember.

Not the same kind of situation Turris had no contract Nino is signed for 2 more years.
Want to try again before you comment?
Kyle Turris was traded under contract, I'm not saying that it's the turris situation, I'm saying that the return will be similar. You're looking at a decent prospect plus pick, not freebies.
What do you people not understand?
I also didn't say trade Brodie, but that's what it'd probably take lol... People need to read before they post.
NYI would ask for Brodie to be in the deal for sure, don't you guys think?
Niederreider is no where near what Turris was as a player. His 1 goal in 55 games was pretty lame, but his -29 in that same timespan was epic! Turris got Rundblad and a second back. Niño should get no where near that. I have no idea why you guys feel he holds so much value?
