Nino is an incredible two-way player who can crash and bang too, and is a possession monster. He's basically a more offensively-gifted and more physical version of Frolik. He would fit perfectly on the first line with Gaudreau and Monahan, helping move the puck from the Flames' end to the opposition's end where those two can work their magic.
His offer sheet compensation would be in the 1st + 3rd range, so offer the Wild that so you can sign him longer than five years if desired.
