Confirmed with Link: WPG acquiring Nino Niederreiter from NASH for a 24 2nd

[Jet]

Poile was retired right after making this trade

I really found the timing of this move interesting.

Poile does a favor just before saying peace out?

One thing most of the players seem to agree on is the food scene here. I think it's pretty underrated in this country.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

I wonder what Nino thinks of Bowness' volume setting (11/10) at practice today?

The urge to go for a Dairi Wip fat boy every time the Winnipeg food scene is mentioned…

So good. But gotta get the fries and chili for an appetizer. Their milk shakes are amazeballs too.

It def is. In terms of "homestyle" foods from all over the world, which is excellent and at reasonable prices, WPG is pretty hard to beat, and it has some some ace restos also that compete very well with bigger cities, plus some terrific delis and regional supermarkets.

We spend around 3x what we used to on going out to eat here near London and it's often not as good, especially when it comes to East Asian and African cuisines.

With the insane returns guys like Jeannot are getting... one must wonder how and why the market for Nino was so bad that the best he could fetch was a 2nd.



Agreed. Samberg is developing into an top end defensive defenseman... like a younger Brendon Dillon... it remains to be seen if he can handle an increased role but in his role he has been nothing short of a revelation and one of the Jets few bright spots in drafting D outside the 1st round.

Guys like Jeannot or just Jeannot? Is it possible Jeannot is an outlier and not an example of the market?

Nino for a 2nd

Jeannot for a 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th and Foote



Chevy =

I sort of envision the Nashville group discussing the Jeannot deal in great detail and someone saying Jets just offered a 2nd for Nino and GM saying whatever I’m busy just do it

Trotz negotiating a deal for Jets after their whole ordeal last summer? Lol

Also wish Nino would share those recommendations!

Well spoken guy, gave a good first interview. A real nice add by Chevy.

We some body-language experts here to weigh in on this new arrival: what are El Nino's levels of joy, angst, anticipation, regret? What's over/under on locker-room toxicity risk, teambuilding potential, favourite Celine Dion number, etc, etc.

Does he have what it takes to be our saviour? C'mon Jets fans -- the guy's been in town for hours already!

El Niño could be our dark horse..
“Nino Nightrider”

Good first impression. The other teams will have to weather the storm. He plays big boy hockey.

Looks like it's going to be a long and hard storm hitting a sensitive area

Oklahoma got bigger?

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

First impressions are important.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Preds are a hair behind us for the final wild card spot, so they give us Nino. They might make the post season in spite of their deadline moves.

This needed a little bump, Neo is exactly the type of player we needed, love his all-around game and he could be a very important player for us come playoffs. 2nd round pick well spent by Chevy.

 

[GNP]

Nino's the type of player that can help you win playoff games. He's big, decent skater, and not bad hands. Also not afraid to go to the rough areas of the ice. Good acquisition by Chevy.

 

[AlaskaJet]

Absolutely right. He’s the hockey version of a Swiss Army Knife, or a Leatherman Crunch..
One other thing, he seems to have the respect of the whole team and gets the talk going during and between plays, seems to be just the spark plug we may have been missing.
I’m looking to see how we keep this improved esprit de corps airborne for the next three periods.

The Avalanche meets the WhiteOut..
I’m a little worried with the Chronicles of Rittich in net, but if team energy is up and the forwards all backcheck, (or even pokecheck) we won’t need avalanche beacons.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

This was definitely a great add by Chevy. A 2nd round pick isn't bad value for Nino as a pending UFA, but getting him for another full year on top of that is very good value IMO.

Shifting Scheifele to 1RW, and bumping Nino down to 3rd line has all of a sudden given us better balance.
