It's tough, he did season ending surgery last year on his hips. Came back and has been slowly getting back to speed. Just his game fell off while doing so. He can skate like no other still but he is mired in a 19 game scoring slump. He's also being used LW on the 3rd line when he is better used on RW. But that last bit there is just my thoughts. Im no coach.
It's a risk for dallas to let Nich go but if they're in win now mode and can get something for the future too, I think Nich will be a steal moving forward. I think he'll be back on the rise next season.
