Value of: Valeri Nichushkin

[fmrdh]

Maybe a fresh start with a team needing more offence (CAR, LAK, ARZ etc) would help both him and the receiving team?

How much value does he have?

I'd take him in LA but the coach doesn't like Russian players.

I don't think he holds to much value. I'm guessing he'll return to Russia

 

[Djp]

He has little value.

I’d trade for him for a 4th.

 

[Kcb12345]

He definitely could use a change in scenery. At times he has shown flashes of becoming a good playmaker at this level but it's tough to tell on the Stars cause no one can score goals as it is

He doesn't have much value. Maybe a similar aged struggling player or a meh prospect + mid round pick.

Would love to trade him for Burakovsky but I don't think the Caps would do it. The team he goes to needs a Russian player imo

3rd round pick at most at this point. Shadow of what they thought he would be. Didn’t really perform well is Russia either ina much lower level of hockey.

Nichushkin + Honka for Martinez

Adds on either side to balance it out

That was too easy...I guess Dallas will need to add then.

Edit: do Dallas fan not think highly of Honka?

That’s horrible for LA, like Chiarelli bad.

I thought Honka was highly regarded in Dallas. Up and coming Top4 guy. Should there be like a 1st with it?

Honka is a bust. He’s not an NHL player, least not a good one. If it wasn’t for draft pedigree nobody would even know him.

Martinez is easily worth a 1st plus. Nuke maybe a 3rd.

So...

Martinez for Nuke, Honka, 1st, prospect

Dallas is treading towards missing the playoffs. I highly doubt they consider moving their first.

Bad trading partners really

2 years ago he was. He is gaining a little confidence right now but last season under Hitchcock just destroyed him. Feels like almost every time he gets the puck he turns it over. Badly needs a change in scenery as well and maybe he could somehow turn things around

This is pretty bad for the Kings. Can’t see why any fan of the Kings would approve this junk.

Vancouver Canucks offer Tim Schaller

We have too many useless players as it is that's the whole point of trading Val

Rather keep him than get older and worse

 

[lilidk]

Tomas Vanek?

 

[greasysnapper]

Seems like a good player to pair up with Svechnikov in Carolina. But I think Carolina needs more of a pure scorer and someone with a little more proof of skill.

I thought Honka was a highly regarded prospect for Dallas. It's not like I follow them. So they would have to add more.

I'm just trying to get younger and closer to the Hughes pick

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

While Val hasn’t been great I’d much rather get rid of Pitlick, Comeau, Hanzal, or Ritchie. He’s been good when used on the third line and is solid in most aspects of the game except for his shot which might be the worst in the league.

I really hope Gurianov can be the goal scorer Val needs. We Stars fans deserve this so badly it's been so hard to watch this team for so long

Assuming they play on the 2nd line together though which may not even happen

Talk about a struggling guy for a struggling guy. At least Caps' board would get something new to complain about. Ripping into Burka is starting to get a little old. Does Nichushkin enjoy getting healthy scratched? It's kind of important that he does.

On an unrelated note, are you guys super-duper fond of Blake Comeau or is he up for grabs?
