Holy crap didnt realize this guy was still in the NHL

Remember him on the sharks in NHL17

 

[Petes2424]

Good signing.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Was fiddling around the Oilers lineup last night and put Nieto in on the 4th line haha.

Seems like Holland had the same idea.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

How is he only 30? Feels like he's been in the NHL for a century

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Did you know that Matt Nieto is from Long Beach, California?

[fahad203]

Did this guy start his NHL career at 13?
Seems like he's been in NHL forever and he's only just 30

 

[Three On Zero]

Thought he was damn near 40 lol

 

[Avs44]

He was awesome a couple years ago…brought lots of energy to the bottom six. Was disappointing after the Avs brought him back this year.

You must keep up the long beach native Matt Nieto meme, Oilers fans.

This seems weird after signing Janmark. Guess we’re trying the bold all LW lineup.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

We should just start the ''Oilers trade Matt Nieto to Avalanche'' thread now and get it over with.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Nieto is a good skating veteran, probably why Colorado reacquired Matt last season.

Nieto should fit into Edmonton’s bottom 6 nicely.

Edit: Nevermind Edmonton Nieto to Pittsburgh.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

The gravelord.

 

[yzerman]

Bad hockey name sounds more like a kinder garden theacher in Finland.

 

[Mattb124]

Good speed, excellent PKer. And little known fact, he is a Long Beach native.

 

[LemonSauceD]

I swear I saw him play for the sharks back in 07

 

[PAZ]

Nieto is an average 4th liner, but at least he has speed.

[ChaoticOrange]

Lol Dreger you bum

 

[LeafalCrusader]

He Michael Nylander them lol?

 

[Bandit]

That’s a long way from Long Beach.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Dubas with the last minute robbery

That’s a long way from Long Beach.

I wonder where Nieto is from. I wonder if TV broadcasters ever mention that he's from Long Beach
