Confirmed Trade: [WPG/NSH] Nino Niederreiter for 2024 2nd round pick

[SI90]

Solid addition for WPG

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Keep in mind Nino is not a rental, he has another year left.

 

[Tuggy]

Should fit in well with the Jets lineup.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Wonder if Heinola would be going to Nashville.

 

[Juxtaposer]

He's very good and contributed exactly as advertised. Nashville unfortunately is not this year so they're doing a favor for him and getting him onto a better team. Good for both parties.

Glad to hear, always liked the player.

Wonder if he costs a 1st.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Good for Nino and for the Jets. He’s a solid big body scoring winger with great puck possession.

 

[Unspecified]

He always seems to have Dallas' number when they meet. Always liked game and thought it would fit well with Dallas.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Wonder if Heinola would be going to Nashville.

Heinola is currently playing in a game right now for the Moose, so I doubt it.

 

[Paulinbc]

Extremely fascinated to see what the return is on this one. Is Niederreiter even good anymore?

I think so. A first? Second? It doesn’t say.

 

[herzausstein]

Nashville sending their #2 goalscorer to a division rival.... Hopefully worth the return

 

[Soundgarden]

Extremely fascinated to see what the return is on this one. Is Niederreiter even good anymore?

Yes, he led us in goals for most of the year until Forsberg overtook him recently.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Anything less than a 2nd and 3rd is good value. And Nashville got him for free.

 

[Paulinbc]

Keep in mind Nino is not a rental, he has another year left.

Ooh that makes the peg an instant favourite next year in the west yes?

I like the fit for Winnipeg with Nino. He's a good, versatile forward with that size that should help fill the gap Winnipeg has in their Top-6/9, that just got worse with the Perfetti injury.

Not gonna be a play driver, but they don't really need that. Does a lot of the little things that help make a line work.


Curious what the cost is, but it seems like a good under-the-radar target for the Jets. Can't imagine they're breaking the bank on this...and might well still have room to add more later as well. Also helps from a Winnipeg context, that he's got another year. Where it can be tricky for them to attract UFAs.

I totally forgot Nino was drafted 5th overall. Wow time flies. Good to see he’s still productive

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

He has been mostly as advertised for the Preds this season. We had a very clear opening for a top 6 winger and he has filled the spot satisfactorily.

If I had any mild criticism of his play this season, I guess it might be that he hasn’t been quite as gritty/abrasive as I expected… but maybe he just always used to play nastier against us than other teams?

Sure would be nice to get a young D from WPG…

 

[SRBisles]

Really good pickup for WPG

 

[Eggtimer]

Good pickup. Size and can score plus shouldn’t cost huge assets to get.
Interesting to see Preds selling.
Wonder who else is available ? I’d love Jeannot

 

[Gurilla]

Chevys awake

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Always liked Nino and I still think he can help especially in the playoffs. Good for the Jets

 

[BLNY]

I think Nino should fit in well with the Jets. We'll see what it cost them.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Predators are in no mans land

Zero chance at winning a cup, zero chance at winning the draft lottery. A lot of old and declining players with big contracts.

I can't imagine they'd be making many other moves as they have no real UFAs.

If anything they're punting on this season and trading the one veteran they can, i guess.

I wonder what they are looking to do longer term with the team.

his go-to for 'grit' is slashing which is one of those things, like interference (his second favorite thing, and usually what he gets...well media focus, parros loves him and so did Quintal and Shanahan), you notice less when he plays for your team

 

[sting101]

wow Nashville throwing in the towel

Nice add for this year and next for WPG

We got grit in spades so he really didnt need to be pesky.
