surixon kirjoitti:Niku shows some poise and good skating. Needs some time to adapt to NA ice.
HPsauce kirjoitti:Niku looking like the only one who has some skill.
DoingItCoolKiwi kirjoitti:Niku is a beautiful butterfly and I love him
surixon kirjoitti:Niku was very good both ways.
portamoral kirjoitti:wow niku is so smooth
JetsFan815 kirjoitti:Niku also very good but I expected that.
Mud Turtle kirjoitti:Niku looks absolutely fantastic.
surixon kirjoitti:Niku will be an NHL player and it might be sooner than later.
He's been one of my darkhorsrs for a while now.
Mud Turtle kirjoitti:You can usually tell early if a player has the hockey sense and IQ to one day be a player. I remember several people here were elated when we drafted Niku. Sami who? But they were right on.
truck kirjoitti:Niku is fun to watch. I wasn't charting them, but I think he led the team in controlled o zone entries.
garret9 kirjoitti:Niku is my son.
Proud member of Niku hype train since June 2015!!
kxx kirjoitti:Niku seemed good most of the time with some flashes showing he has been a pro for a few years. He needed stronger players with him which he should have on the Moose.
matthole kirjoitti:Wow Niku's drop back Pass was spectacular, this kid could be in the Top 4 in the next year or two if he keeps up his defensive development and maintains his slick offensive skills.
30:09 3-2 Winnipeg Jets - Jansen Harkins (Sami Niku, Skyler McKenzie)
Winnipeg vs Edmonton 0-3:
csk kirjoitti:Niku is just on another level
EnglishJet kirjoitti:Niku is different class. So smooth and just see's/understands the game on another level.
Whileee kirjoitti:Niku is polished with the puck, but he has a ways to go in his play without the puck.
surixon kirjoitti:Niku also needs to learn to move a bit to open his shot. It might be a small ice thing.
bisonbutt kirjoitti:Niku seemed polished compared to the rest.
Winnipeg vs Calgary 4-1:
Whileee kirjoitti:Niku with a bit of a Morrissey vibe…
BarDownBobo kirjoitti:Oil fan here. Been in Penticton for the whole tourney, and Niku has been a huge standout. Great skater, and always seems to play such a calm game. Seems to have a really high hockey IQ as well. He looks to be a steal for you guys.
Kyosama kirjoitti:Niku looks great. It'll be an exciting year for the Moose. Great skater, very calm, great outlet passes. He's been pretty mistake free this whole tournament.
Aavco Cup kirjoitti:Niku looks like the real deal. Even in warm up he looked like the cool kid everyone wants as their friend
surixon kirjoitti:Niku still the best dmen on the ice by a pretty decent margin.
Jets4Life kirjoitti:Poolman looking good. Niku is the best though.
Joe Hallenback kirjoitti:Niku was polished all tourney. His passing is crisp and sharp. His decision making was above his peers. Really glad he looked great on the smaller ice.
Whileee kirjoitti:For Niku, I think his development challenges are similar to Morrissey's a couple of seasons ago. He has the mobility, skills and smarts to play but will need to play with a bit more urgency and bite in his game in his own zone. A year or more in the AHL should suffice.
