I’ll tell you what. When I’m trying to fall asleep, nothing helps me more than railing a few lines of coke. That always does the trick.
Justice for Nuke.

Isn't coke suppose to make people not want to sleep and feel energetic and pumped up?

It's like some of those old video games where if you go far enough to the right of the screen you end up on the left. So if you do enough coke you actually get really good rest...because your heart explodes. It's a bit of a permanent solution to sleep issues.

I wonder if one way Big Moose is working on his speed/quickness is to give up smoking?

And hopefully not skipping leg days at the gym, so he can stay up on his feet and not fall down 2x a shift.

I've suffered some personal family tragedy of late that's taken me away from this discussion. So I'm not trying to resurrect anything but you asked a couple of questions and it appears I left them hanging. Sorry.
Yes I meant Neuro........ just typed it wrong.
And was expressing concerns that the job conditions associated with Nuke's profession might be dangerous to his health.
Rightly or wrongly reminiscent to me of how repeated concussions means you need to stop lacing 'em up before you damage your future health. Pat Lafontaine being one of my chief influencers.

AFAIK he didn't give any interview after he got caught in the last playoffs so everything that he could say in that Youtube series is super outdated and isn't about the current situation anyway.

Does it make sense to do load management for Nichushkin and maybe give him spot work until 10 or 15 games left and then suit him up on a regular basis?
A year ago, it would be default to say he’s not worth anywhere close to 6.25 at that point. But it’s a new world and and the high end guys (minus Marner) will be making 12-15 million per year. By that new standard, Nichushkin’s 6.25 doesn’t seem so out of line. When he’s on the ice, he’s not half as impactful as the elite players, especially in the playoffs. When he’s on the ice, he’s far more valuable than that. But the risk is obvious.
Is a possible solution to shorten his run way and to minimize the pressures of a long season by giving him spot starts and then revving him up with 10 or so games left in the season? Where it was once the case that one might say, this isn’t getting full value of his contract, that no longer seems to be the case given the rapid ascent of salaries (even for less impactful players).
If the Avs terminate his contract, the fear is that he will be the bane of our existence.

Just need him to walk around with a fake cock with clean urine like they did with Vince in that one episode of Entourage.

You just know that the testing crew is eagerly waiting for the first big Avs win streak once Nuke is back, they'll know he will piss hot.

“We welcome him back with open arms”
What does Val need to say to his teammates when he does eventually come back?
“Nothing,” Nathan MacKinnon said. “I don’t think we need to hear anything.”

Nichushkin, Landeskog, And Ritchie: Biggest Takeaways From Avalanche Media Day
“We welcome him back with open arms.” That line was repeated not once, but twice from two members of the Avalanche organization on Wednesday at media day. If it sounds like you’ve heard that line before, let me just say – you have. And I’m sure you can guess that they’re talking about Valeri...

Nuke's got these guys by the balls. They know the Avs can't win without him so they are in a situation where they essentially have to accept him back no matter what.

That's not why he got them by the balls. He got them by the balls because he's untradable and they can't buy him out.
The reason why they waited that long to say that they'll welcome him back on the roster is because they took the time to look at all their options and it was the only realistic one.
