He has an offensive game in the sense that when TBL was 29th in the league on the PP he was actually willing to shoot the puck. That was the sole reason he was on the team. Now TBL's PP is no longer at the bottom of the league and he is essentially worthless to their game. No defense and very little offense although he did his best play of the season at forward for a brief stretch. Maybe you guys need a 4th line winger instead.

He has one thing going for him, he can get pucks on net and is fairly accurate. If you want to get the most out of him, put him out there for offensive zone faceoffs. Almost every other area of his game is average or worse even for a bottom pairing defenseman.

Teams don't trade within the same division
LOL, They do when one team wishes to acquire a player the other team believes will make them worse.

Nesty will be good 'cause of Russian factor 
He's better than Barbie, Johnston and Hanley. I know he's a MAB 2.0 but I hope more from him.

I really hate that excuse people bring up

Wow, this is the shake up move we've been waiting for! No but he's god awful defensively and is basically addition by substraction. He turns the puck over so much it drives you nuts. You just know he's got no value when he's traded to a divisional rival for basically nothing and I'm glad he's gone.

That's what he does. He heats up for a couple of games and then his offensive game just disappears. When he doesn't provide offense, he provides less than nothing.

Depth move. Our bottom pairing has been struggling with markov and pateryn on IR. I like it, he can fill in while we wait for them to come back and then becomes a 7D for the playoffs. Paying a 6th rounder is more than fine, he can fight barberio/redmond for spots. Good move

I am not the guy you want to be wrong about.
No doubt and he is way better offensively than all of them. Jets could easily have beat Montreal's offer.

If you take Nesterovs games as a forward into calculation he actually is producing less points given the ice time as a defenseman..
