Yes. But they do not offer.
It would shock me if they offered Nichushkin for the third overall, let alone sixth.

I honestly think I pass. I just don't like such a young player with a hip injury that took him out for the whole season. It makes me nervous... my thought is why take any risk when you are going to have your choice of multiple blue chip prospects.

I feel the opposite to be honest. I think Nuke would be better than anyone we get at 6 to be honest. That said, I have not read too much on the extent of his injury. If it really was that debilitating and detrimental to his development than I guess steer clear.
Even if you do pick up another 2nd. and a roster player (which is stretching it re: Rychel)
You can then use two 2nd. rounder to grab another 1st. in the 20-30 range and still pick up a decent 2nd. rounder.
i think I do it. ive loved nichushkin since that draft year and was hoping they would take him before they made the Schneider deal. and if provorov is as good as they are saying, dallas would do very well in this deal (and possibly almost "replace" nuke with their pick after that with a rantanen, crouse, meier or connor).
That injury and the fact that the stars would want to unload him are cause for concern. Give them two 2nd. rounders...

They did pretty amazing in terms of scoring without him this past season. If they did decide to trade him it wouldn't be because of disappointment, it'd be like us in dealing from a position of strength to fix a weakness. Two 2nd rounders is borderline insulting for Nichushkin.

Coming off injury, he's not worth straight up a top five/six pick. That's crazy over value on the fans part. Why would they dump him is the greater question I have. Again, this is all just fan speculation anyway.

Why would they trade him for any less? They got him at 11 when by all accounts he should have been at least a top seven pick and he has a year head start in terms of development over anyone this year. He'll still be 20 years old at the beginning of next season and it's way too early to think he'll bust just cause he got hurt.
But yes if they really are shopping him it might suggest concern about how he'll bounce back injury wise.

You are forgetting the injury part to the equation, it's not just getting hurt.
I didn't say bust, he has already shown promise, however you are getting him off a serious injury. Besides he's cost controlled and if they believe he can continue on his trajectory why would a team deal a player like that, unless they are thinking along the same lines.

I'd like to emphasize WILDLY. It was crazy to see him being scratched for Zubrus and Tootoo.
What sucks is that we don't concretely know who was making personnel decisions post-PDB, but they were borderline terrible.

If it's between a high-end second-year player that's been developed by another team and a high-end player that we can develop from the beginning, I will always choose the latter.
We want guys to play a certain way. Better off having full control from the beginning.

Was Ruutu really underused or was he one of the few players who was actually used properly? Just because he looked good getting fourth line minutes doesn't mean he'll be as effective as a second/third liner.

It would have been nice to find out during a lost cause season where they had other guys overslotted constantly.
But let's try to keep this on draft discussion, this is more a topic for the regular team thread.

Only way I'd trade down is if its to COL for O'Reilly.
Not at all interested in the proposed CBJ-NJ trades.

Really thats the ONLY trade.
On top of that you want to trade for someone who is most surely testing free agency.
Its about assets, the more you have the more likely you are to hit.

Well if their first is coming with it, it is an intriguing idea. Gives you a year to work on signing him and we still draft at worst Kyle Conner.
no way they do that. They would want one of our seconds too at least.

ROR at 7.5 million is fine.
7.5 in two years is similar to Zajac's contract now.
Cap is going up. More casual NHL fans. The sport is growing; money is to be had.

Ill help you decide. Take the player at the more important position. The one who has a very high IQ, put up more points and led his teams offensive production
