Opinion: Protecting Nichushkin In Expansion Draft A Puzzling Move

Vegas General Manager George McPhee, along with head coach Gerard Gallant, are set to reveal their roster tonight, and the pool of players it can choose from is a fluid one. Players such as Marc-Andre Fluery, James Neal, and David Perron are there for the picking.

One of the names not available for McPhee is Dallas’ Valeri Nichushkin.

Nichushkin, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2013 NHL draft, played three seasons in Dallas. He has compiled 23 goals in 166 career NHL games. Nichushkin missed all but eight games in the 2014-15 season.
