Personally I would be interested in trying to get Nichushkin off Dallas. His KHL contract is over and he is expected to return to the NHL next season. He is only due a RFA contract which could be a slow as $2 mill for maybe 1-2 'prove it' years, especially as he hasn't exactly lit up the KHL. I expect many to be afraid of the 'run back to Russia' factor but he has already played that card and I expect him to want to prove that he belongs in the NHL.
I don't think the Stars will make him available. The whole reason he left was because he clashed with Ruff who is gone. From everything I have heard he is fine with going back to Dallas now.
