Boddy604 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/14756466/nhl-central-division-buyers-sellers-trade-deadline ESPN's Custance reporting Valeri Nichuskin may be available as the Stars are seeking help on the blueline. http://canucksarmy.com/2016/2/11/valeri-nichushkin-is-available-should-the-canucks-yes J.D. Burke also reporting the same thing. A player like Nichuskin would take more to secure than just a rental like Hamhuis (especially considering Hamhuis would just come back to Vancouver anyways if given the chance) but this is the kind of guy that's right up Benning's alley. A highly touted prospect that has slipped down the depth chart a bit due to injury and has lower value right now than he probably ever will again. Listed as a 6'4 205 LB 20 year old RW, he's basically everything the Canucks are looking for when Vrbata is gone. Not sure how much it would cost but it's definitely an attractive idea.

Rush17 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I would blow my mind. I could see him moving for younger version of hammer though. Someone with less xp but maybe equal or better potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobi Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Canucks needs help on the blueline too. Not sure if Dallas is a good trade partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I doubt Canucks get involved in this one. Should be an entertaining deadline though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a huge opportunity though. One that doesn't pop up very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 i think i might be overvaluing Nichuskins top end talent though. He hasn't proven enough to be an impact player on a line with lesser players. He played that game vs the nux with seguin and benn. you can stick anyone on that line and they'd probably look good. I wouldn't do hammer for Nichuskin. We got a lot of forward offensive talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Why are people suggesting we should trade a defenceman for a forward? We already have enough depth up front, and not enough depth on the blueline. Our need is a defenceman, not a forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our need is a defenceman, not a forward. because I believe fwds are better developed, while dmen are better poached as RFA, signed as UFA or traded for. In this case, dallas is looking for a stable, veteran dman and willing to give up a big power fwd who might become a dominant player a year or two down the road......sometimes a deal comes along you don't plan for and you have to move on it.

Monty Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 5 minutes ago, Yotes said: its gonna cost a trouba type of d man in return Exactly this. And let's just say for arguments sake that the Jets were to actually move Trouba, because they have one too many RHD now, he's worth more than just Nichuskin at this point. Not that Nich isn't good, but Trouba has been developing really well over the past couple seasons. The Stars would not only have to add, but probably quite a bit, if only due to the fact that the Stars are in the same division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
