I feel like we need two other Italians so we can have a "MADE" line.

This thread has been f***ing hilarious to read

So why when I said about 1-2 weeks ago that he should’ve been called up as well you said no if you agree he should’ve made it out of camp?

He could have, based on what he showed in the pre-season. And there was definitely enough to justify it. I am just very cautious when judging players based on pre-season games. Nejezchleb was good a few years ago and he didn't even stick in the ECHL.

The big difference between Lettieri and Nieves at the time was that Nieves had already shown what he can do at the NHL level. NHL pre-season isn't NHL level to me. Not with the amount of PTOs, prospects and AHL players on teams.

Interesting. That’s different than what you said when I proposed him getting a few games up

I believe it is flipped. A few years back he dropped the Aasen surname since he only wanted to be associated with his mama, not sure what happened but I'd assume it isn't good.

I think his mom is half italian/half norwegian and his dad is norwegian.
