Breaking News: Valeri Nichushkin Suspended 6 Months Without Pay

  1. Can they release him without a penalty after all this? This has got to breach his contract, right? He makes $6.2 million a year!

  2. Nichushkin re-offended and should be punished, but 6 months is excessive in my opinion. Hope he can defeat his demons for all concerned.

    Trade Matheson and pick #24 for pick 2, 3, or 4 for Catton Lindstrom, Mitchcov, or Iginla. Matheson is the prime candidate. That means a balanced lineup of Suzuki, Cole, Lindstrom, Dach, Slav, and Maser, Newhook, Roy, Catton or Iginla, 4th line of Beck, Evans, and Armia. A strong D with our #5 pick will make our future a strong contender for the playoffs!

  4. Very sad. He helped defeat my Jets last round, we had no answer for him. I wish the NHL would treat consussions and head shots as seriousley as they do addiction. How about softer elbow pads and proper punishment of thugs like Bennett, who sucker punched Marchand and likely the Bruins out of the playoffs and laughed about it. NHL ?

  5. He needs actual help, but I won't watch him bail a 3rd time in the playoffs on his team so Avs better trade him or I need a new team until they do.
