Matthew DeFranks of Dallas Sportsday (Live Chat): Again, it seems Dallas may buy out Valeri Nichushkin (no goals last season). He makes $2.9 million with only one year left on his deal.
Dallas could look at Mattias Janmark or Brett Ritchie (RFA or let go).
Ty Dellandrea is a player to watch but projects as a middle-six forward at best.
Then, there is Mats Zuccarello, who has to be Dallas’s number one priority in re-signing. He expects to come in somewhere around $6 million AAV.
