Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2007-08: Nigro scored 24 goals and 48 points in 67 games with the OHL Guelph Storm. He was used mostly in a defensive role.
2008-09: After being traded to the 67's, Nigro showed the offense that got him drafted. He started scoring over a point a game -- 51 points in 42 games. The change of scenery gave him a more offensive role in a more offensive system, and linemates like Logan Couture. With Ottawa, Nigro looked like the power forward he showed glimpses of before.
2009-10: Nigro reported in a bit lighter this year, having toned up over the summer.
Talent Analysis
Nigro has a scorer’s touch to go along with fearlessness. At just 6'0, 189-pounds, he is also not afraid to mix it up if need be.
Nigro has some offensive touch, but also experience on the defensive side. He can play all three forward positions. His biggest weakness is his skating. He has been working with a skating instructor for a few years to address this.
Future
Nigro will continue with Ottawa in 2009-10 and should lead the team's offense.
At the NHL level, Nigro could fit in in a variety of roles. He will need to continue to improve his skating to get there.
