Nieves should have turned pro earlier, he plateaued in his 4 seasons of NCAA then injuries also played a role.
I asked an NHL coach one time about a player, he said, yes he is a good player, does everything ok, but he doesnt excel at any one particular thing and if he wants to make it he better learn to do something the puts him ahead of all the other players in the AHL. I feel this way about Nieves, he's pretty good at a lot of things but not a star at anything. He needed to become a pk specialist/ faceoff specialist, he hasn't seemed to grasp that.
