Confirmed with Link: Wild sign Nico Sturm

[57special]

I like Fehr, and he's cheap, but with Ek, Staal, Rask(yech), eventually Mikko, and Kunin as a backup C. I don't see the need for Fehr. I actually like Fehr more than Rask, but what can you do? I could see Sturm playing up here if he continues to show well. He seems to have the size, strength, speed, and two way play ability.

Eventually we might see a bit of Shaw, or Dewar next year? Dewar was an overager, wasn't he? I guess COR is out of the question?

Brown is the one guy who probably should be replaced.

The fun part with Sturm is the hope that he can actually score at the NHL level, while we know that Fehr can't.

Fehr takes Brown's job. Get rid of Foligno, and let Rask, Ek, and Sturm battle for 3rd and 4th line spots

I don't think he's eligible for Iowa/AHL playoffs. not sure on that though.

Well, if he can't there is probably a good chance he will play for Germany at the World Championships.

FWIW, in Fenton's eyes he is first-round talent.

Just what we need, another FJo!

Guys, he’s turning 24 in May.
You have a lot of much younger and soon to be much better kids in the pipeline.

And?

Any thoughts on his 2 games with the Wild?

 

[ebergeist]

Any rumors? I noticed that Nico Sturm is doing some training at the moment in the Wild facility, are they going to re-sign him for the next season?

I would assume that’s the idea. Don’t think they signed him to play 2 games and then go elsewhere.

 

[Mickey the mouse]

More than likely 2nd deal was already done ( in the drawer) when 1st was signed

He was impressive against Calgary. He was so effective on the forecheck and backcheck. Just closed so much distance in a hurry and just smothered the Flames players with his reach. His offense was just a bonus. He was flying around and reading the play well.

JEE and Sturm might be one hell of a pair of two-way centers.

 

[57special]

Could they be our middle six C's of the future?

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

He’ll be a fine bottom half of the lineup center. He moves well and can make plays. If him or Ek find themselves having a role in our top 6 someday, stab pencils in your eyes.
