I’m eating crow big time on Nuke. Hated the signing when it happened, boy was I wrong. He’s been everything the Avs could’ve hoped for.
Was it because of Yakupov? You are not the only one.
I just don't get why signing him was so polarizing for some people. AJ went off about it, and plenty of people here did too. I sort of viewed it as a PTO with guaranteed money because hed be off to Russia if he didn't work out.
