Hockey was a huge reach at #4. A better comparison is Hamil.
That said I like what I saw of Niño at the WJC and 4 or 5 times I saw him in the WHL.
I think the Islanders rushed him but him producing in the AHL makes me think a limited 3rd line role with some PP time ie Bourques spot would be perfect. I'm not a Bourque hater but if you can get Niño for any prospects not named Spooner Koko and Hamilton. I do it ....
How about Caron, Bourque, and a young defensive prospect? I'd like to see Nino get a shot at our 3rd line.
Nino was dynamic as a junior, but my point was that if he can't crack an Islanders lineup...how can he crack a Bruins lineup unless the front office is specifcaly makigng room for him (something I only recall seeing with veterans so far).
I haven't been watching, but how is it that he could not crack the Islanders lineup?
Islanders have a history of snubbing their young prospects. They don't even give them camp invites. I think that's one of the reasons Nino wants out.

And no, I don't get all the trade proposals shipping Subban out of town. Do people hate him that much?
And Caron still has some trade value as a former 1st rounder right?
