I apologize if this ground has been covered before, but the inner Winerhawks fan in my got really curious.
How is Nino doing? He really struggled to adapt to the NHL style with the Islanders (though his "deer in the headlights" was going to be inevitable - he really needed to learn that he had to hit hard to become an effective NHL presence). With the Sound Tigers, he seemed to struggle and sulk without Nelson (or the possibility of an NHL return) around. And of course came the trade demand incident.
I'm curious to see the initial reaction from Wild fans are. I loved him in Portland and it's been no secret that I'd wanted to see him and Baertschi play in Flames red just for nostalgia's sake. Stats lurking seems to indicate he's doing alright, but of course stats aren't everything.
What do you think of him?
