Confirmed with Link: [NYI/MIN] Cal Clutterbuck + 2013 3rd for Nino Niederreiter

[nickschultzfan]

This is amazing!!!

 

[Jbcraig1883]

Hopefully Nino can be like other Islander prospects that they traded away early on...

 

[saywut]

Considering Nino was frustrated with the AHL last year, you have to wonder if we've got to give him an NHL spot. Unless Coyle's moving to center, there's a surplus on the wings still.

 

[BusQuets]

He's already a bust? Well he fits nicely with Granlund then

 

[Fel 96]

I'm confident that the Wild organization will stabilize Nino.

 

[Nsjohnson]

Nino is a bust. Should've traded Clutter for Niskanen.

You have zero weight behind that statement.

 

[melinko]

The fact that we got Niederreiter for only Clutterbuck and a 3rd is worrying.

I know he was terrible in his first season but his value should still be higher than what we paid, there has to be something we don't know about him.

 

[Jarick]

Nino's potentially got a $3m cap hit...that could be trouble.

He's a LH shot...I'm thinking he'll probably HAVE to get a start in the NHL and that could mean Granlund starts in Houston.

Parise - Koivu - Pominville
Nino - Coyle - Setoguchi
Zucker - Brodziak - Heatley

Something like that?

 

[nickschultzfan]

Nino player we need!!! So happy. Draft already a major success.

 

[Sportsfan1]

It's a boom or bust deal, man does Fletcher have guts! I don't mind a guy who just shoots pucks, we need more of those, so if that's the case i'm on board with this gamble. It's a risk, but hope it works out!

 

[AKL]

So excited to have Nino.

Don't think the Wild are even close to done yet actually...

Do you really think that our brass does not have the DL on Nino before pulling that trigger? I don't think so. Isles articles recently have stated Nino looks very much NHL ready now.

Let's all hope NIno comes here with a chip on his shoulder and with a starting over attitude.

He didn't want to be with the Islanders and he wasn't happy with management.

C-L-U-T-T-E-R-B-U-C-K

N-I-E-D-E-R-R-E-I-T-E-R

That should be a long enough name bar to fit on those #22 jerseys

 

[Fel 96]

Nino got 28 goals, 22 assists, 50 points in 74 games with Bridgeport Sound Tigers this season.

Bust?

 

[AKL]

I agree. Setoguchi is probably gone for a defenseman.

Exactly this. Boom or bust, and I like to roll the dice folks.

 

[forthewild]

****ing right love hugs game and wanted him to be ours but snow had to break my break my heart by taking him welcome el nino

 

[AKL]

Nino got 28 goals, 22 assists, 50 points in 74 games with Bridgeport Sound Tigers this season.

Bust?

Some people just don't understand not every player can make an impact before they're 20.

Parise - Koivu - Pominville

Zucker - Brodziak - Heatley

Something like that?

I'm fairly confident that a guy like Gilbert is going to be gone. Setoguchi to Pittsburgh is still a pretty big possibility.

 

[nickschultzfan]

Islander should have never put him in the NHL. Their bad decision is our gain.

 

[rynryn]

seto for niskanen?

 

[TaLoN]

Russo says the Wild are STILL trying to move into the first round... more indication Fletcher is not close to being done yet!

 

[keppel146]

has his work ethic or attitude been questioned before?
