I try not to get my hopes up for older Euro prospects based on past experience. I hope they prove me wrong though!

Not every player has to be a top 6 guy to be useful. Matt Nieto had a big impact against the Flames this playoffs and he’s probably what Nygard would be. Flames are a slow team, any way they can improve the team speed should be beneficial.
