Nice to see him hit 20. Quite a few games left, if he gets on a roll, there's no reason he can't get to 30. Would be fun!
He's streaky, but with the way all 4 lines are now rolling pretty alright, he may get enough quality chances to get there
It wouldn't be unheard of... 21 games to get 9 goals... .42 goals/gm. He's at .34 goals/gm right now which is a 28 goal season pace (27.88 technically).

Compared to that 55g 1g 0a -29 season, he developed quite well over the last two years
25 goals would be a nice achievement for him, there's no doubt for me that he'll add some 30 goal seasons too in the coming years.
Its awesome. We are just seeing Nino starting to scratch his potential. As he gets a little more mature and is able to handle the top six minutes without changing his game his numbers should only go up.

Awesome for him to hit 20 goals. I think we need either nino or Coyle to become a really good pwf.
(Unpopular opinion incoming) I like how yeo has used him. He has been tasked with driving our third line for the most part. It's great experience to do that rather than get used to deferring to talented linemates. The next step is driving a better line against better competition.

Nino is #3 all time in goals for Swiss players in the NHL.
He needs 46 goals to become #1, assuming Streit never scores again - which obviously isn't realistic. Depending on how this season goes, and obviously the next season, but maybe by the 2016-2017 season he'd be #1.

So, I wonder if the Wild are going to get an influx of Swiss fans as Nino fever sweeps through Switzerland...

We did also take Bertschy...maybe he could eventually develop into something.
i defend Yeo at every turn mostly because the reactions against him by most here are so over the top short sighted and nuts, but while Nino does flourish on the 3rd line and that's where I wanted him this year anyway, Yeo has tried and does want him playing a top six role--Just that Nino defers too much and doesn't play the same game he does on the third. Probably just an experience thing, and having a great offensive season should do wonders for his confidence and realizing his role on the team is to drive offense, not be there to support the veterans. I mean, it turns out the third line works best for him now (or playing with Coyle and another young guy) but he's sort of down there through his own doing, not a grand strategic move. It looks good though--gives us scoring punch on three lines meaning one of them should be fairly free to find scoring chances.

My problem with Yeo on all this is when to swap power play units. Whan I watch other teams, 30-45 seconds of powerplay is usually when you put on the 2nd unit. Wild, a face off 50 seconds in, he doesn't change, even a minute in. I'd be fine with swapping power play units as often as the opponents swap pkers, especially if it ain't working.

The PP turned around when they put the current group together and started giving them extended time. They used countless combinations trying to find anything that worked, and once they found something that did work at a decent success rate, people want to complain about the limited icetime for the guys that don't produce?
I would like to see Dumba replace Pominville and Koivu and Parise should switch roles, but I have no desire to see increased PP time for Granlund, Coyle or Brodin.
some people would like to risk a negative side toward PP% to see if the gain in playing the 2nd unit would be worth it. Beginning of the year i would have loved to seen it tinkered with on a nightly basis but now is not the time, especially when we're finally okay at it. 2nd unit has limited time to impress, just like players do hoping to move up from the bottom six. some players manage it. 2nd unit deserves to move up, they'll produce more. same thing applies to kids in the bottom six--seems unfair they only get however many minutes to show they belong in a bigger role, but logistically it's what you do unless the team is faltering. it's certainly not doing that lately.

nino gets a gold star for turning his career around. i will be happy if hes a perennial 20G scorer with the chance of a 30G season. we hit the jackpot trading for him. what was the nyi gm thinking?????? now if we can trade for yakupov aka nino#2

Completely wrong....
If they get a faceoff ~1 minute in they always change to the second unit. Thing is, they just don't get stoppages at an appropriate time...first unit will do a good job and keep the puck in the zone for over a minute which makes changing to the second unit a little bit more difficult.
