What do people see as realistic options this off season, either through UFA or trade?
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.

What do you think Dallas might want for the #10 draft pick of the deep 2013 draft?
If he wasn't Russian he might have gone in the top 5-6 picks and looked like the steal of the draft at #10.
In his 18 year old season in the NHL he had the same pts as Monahan (34) and was +20 rather than a -20 almost half a year younger than Monahan.
