I don't see the dallas trade as much of a reach. Players who come immediately into the nhl after being drafted hit ufa status pretty quickly. Nichuskin has 4 years of team control left if I'm not mistaken... And his el contract is over so he'll probably require a 2 mil cap hit or so next year. He's a good player but he hasn't proven much in the nhl either. That said I like the player and potential fit and would make the trade.
