Reply With QuoteMaybe his stock has gone up somewhat because he's closer to playing full-time but he's still the #4 offensive D in the pecking order. I don't see huge upside in Niku anyway.

Re: Sami Niku
Buff & Morrissey block him from legit PP time at the moment. He'd really need to blow the lights of them - ala Dunn/Ghost to push the issue.
I like his upside... it's just not going to be easy for him to achieve it in Wpg.

Re: Sami Niku
When Buff goes down Niku's value should spike into useful territory.
Re: Sami Niku
^Agree, Niku's upside is tied towards whether Buff stays healthy.
Also - Morrissey will play big minutes... and sometimes you gotta give those guys a break and go with a 3rd pairing guy that is fresh, mentally.
