gold star for USAHOF

40. Valeri Nichuskin

Valeri Nichuskin was a bust with the Dallas Stars, who bought out his contract after the 2018-19 Season.  The Colorado Avalanche signed the Russian Right Wing, who became a solid two-way NHL player.

Nichuskin’s offense would finally kick in, with his first 20-Goal year in 2021/22, and the former Stars’ castoff helped the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup.  Over the last three seasons, Nichuskin scored 152 Points, and is still in his prime. 

What a pick-up he became!
