I can't see COL letting Nichushkin to the free agency after the playoffs he had. Also I'd expect ARI to want more younger prospects than ready NHL guys, they're far from contending. The likes of Morrow is more in their interest than likes of Bear. Gardiner is a cap dump so he might be added there for that reason. Necas is still young so he's probably fine there too.

Deangelo return is pretty meh to me.

For that contract, Nichushkin just stays in Colorado. I like the fit as well, but If you’re VN, don’t you just go back?

Depends what Colorado wants to pay him

Its not an actual return for TDA.. just some random players to fill a spot. As stated in the description, Im really curious what the Canes can get for him, as no one really knows what a return would look like
