Nieuwendyk is bright, has ties to the franchise and burke and has a long career and opportunities to learn from his mistakes and be mentored in cowtown.
Not my first choice but still a good one.

Agreed.... my first impressions changed when you actually look at his body of work, in the end its actually not so bad.
Would still perfer Mike Futa though.
