The Rattler Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Wonder if all the Dallas Fans are thinking, "Oh what a crappy GM we have. We could have had Hamhuis for our playoff run and only given up a player who might not be here next year! Bad asset management" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember so many people whining after Nichushkin's first season that we passed on a star player. There's a reason why he dropped and this is it.

He's probably realizing his contract is gonna be small because he only put up 29 points. Why not go to Russia, make more money at home, and then he can always come back a collect a bigger paycheck later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of them and in a way I still defend that. At the time the window was still intact and slightly open, adding him to the top six could've help or could've of been a disaster, we don't know. We do know the Nucks have been deficating the bed since that draft, that's not a slight on Bo but I use the same argument on the Linden trade. Yeah it got us the Sedins but did it get us the cup? No. So to me it's moot. And to be fair I wasn't vocal on these forums about that pick. But watching that draft I was screaming at the tv when that pick was made. And that trade, should've of got a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad asset management" if he leaves for russia they probably will be.... why wouldn't they doesn't mean they have to resent Nill for it... it's impossible to predict the future. I have been critical of Gillis ignoring Russians completely, but his decision did have its reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
