kloubek Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 The value in this contract isn't actually the scoring. Yes, he's a 30-40 point player but 4m aav seems pretty average for that level of production. What makes this a good deal for the Preds is Nino's size, playing style, and 200ft game. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Castiglione Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Always liked El Niño ever since he put the Swiss Junior team on his back on route to a medal. Best of luck to him with the Preds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Wow. Great deal. For what it’s worth, here’s how the quick view analytics look on Nino: Based on the fancies, he’s a $7M+ value player. And coming off his 3rd best overall statistical season of his career, and still only age 29.

Angry Goose Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Dang. I was checking up on him on capfriendly last night / daydreaming how he could fit into the Canucks line up. Heck of a deal for NSH too. Thats like the ultimate ringer deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is like Bobby Margarita and taking a much-deserved vacay for his tireless work throughout the season. He will be back faster, stronger and drunker than ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 This guy is an okay player, but he’s not a difference maker in any way. Much rather have Mikheyev, who is a difference maker. Nino and the Preds can go suck pucks. #Embracethehate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK_19 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I mean I'd say one big difference from Mikheyev is Nino doesn't PK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, didn't expect Mikheyev to get the kind of contract he did get but here's to hoping he becomings a Grabner-type penalty killer for us and can mesh well in our top 6. Nino seems to be a streaky player, but I would have also liked the Canucks to go this route with a shorter term contract but when in free agency if you really like a guy you have to pony up and then see how that player and contract holds up!
