I feel like that contract could have been flipped. My guess is Nichushkin was only involved if it was something like Coleman and Kadri going to the Avs.
Avs fans seem to think Nichushkin has been a big part of why Nelson has looked good.
I also wonder how much gamesmanship is going on between Dallas, Colorado, and Minnesota right now.
I have a feeling all three of those teams are looking at something bigger...but also don't want to be the first team to flinch in that division. And probably want to try to sneak any deal in so that the division rivals can't react.
