Nino was actually one of my favorite prospects his draft year...Clutterbuck going to be reunited with Tavares, haha. Martin and Clutterbuck will be pounding down Eastern D.

I actually think this is great use of an asset! Power forward prospect for RFA Clutterbuck...

Not sure how I feel about this initially, just knowing Nino really didn't develop well on Long Island, but considering Clutterbucks marginal value has the potential to be an absolute steel.

Very Cool. Nino has some great skill, hopefully he comes in with a 'starting over' attitude and excels. Could be a GREAT 2nd or 3rd line winger.

I'll miss Cal. We dieniftely traded away the sure-fire contributor. Don't like being forced to do that with poor cap management.

As for Nino, he's intriguing. But it's kinda like trading for Pouliot. High pick, no NHL production. Very much a high-risk trade.

Well, doesn't clear cap-space or a roster forward spot if Nino's on the team, but can't complain about the value. Hopefully the 11-12 season didn't ruin him, decent year last year in the AHL. Still alot of upside at 20(21 in Sept.).
