Still, at that point Nyquist hadn't shown anything in the NHL to prove he was worth that sort of contract. I reiterate: 13 points in 40 games over a couple of seasons prior to 13/14. Are 23 year old AHL tweeners worth million-dollar contracts?
If we had good enough pro scouts to foresee that Nyquist was about to break out and score 28 goals then we'd be in a much better situation than the rebuild we're currently in.
