MATT NIETO - Left Winger - 26 - $1.97MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 7/28/19
Despite being undersized, Matt Nieto has established himself as a good two-way third line winger at the NHL level. Nieto has a relentless motor and provides energy every time he jumps over the boards onto the ice. He's a smart, capable defensive winger who's strong on the forecheck and an asset as a penalty killer. He's not an elite offensive producer but he's a decent skater who can use his above-average hockey IQ to score 20-25 points per season. That production, combined with his strong defensive play and ability to kill penalties is what keeps him in the NHL lineup, and what makes him a fine third line/great fourth line defensive winger.
