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: In his first full season with the Ottawa 67's, Nigro scored 16 goals and 62 points in 61 games. His 46 assists led the team. He tied for the team lead in playoff scoring with 13 points in 12 games, including 6 goals, 7 assists.
2010-11: Nigro skated in 54 games for the AHL Peoria Rivermen in his first pro season: missing 18 games with an ankle injury. He scored 9 goals with 6 assists and was -8 with 22 PMs seeing mostly third and fourth line action as a rookie. Nigro skated in all four playoff games in Peoria's first round series with Houston and was scoreless and -4 with 4 PMs.
Talent Analysis
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.
