Hockey is for everyone!
Yeah that, or another contender come deadline day that has need of a a top 6 winger with play-making ability.
I don't know if you picked up on it, but my post was tongue-in-cheek. The post you quoted was more of a reference on how Holland took McPhee to the woodshed and treated him like a mule with red hair and no blood relation.
Nyquist is having a bad year. 30% of the way through the year, Gus is on pace for 10 goals total. He's making some plays, but (with goal scoring up & save % down for the first time in a decade) he can't score. He's not terribly hard to play against in terms of physicality, something Tatar had/has more of, and he's been pretty bad in postseason production.
Vegas was in a rare situation of being a cup contender 'with' a plethora of picks and futures, so they could gamble more than any contender in recent memory.
I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see Nyquist going for a 1st round pick.
