And if he goes will any NHL team sign him or it's the KHL? I mean Russian journos are already asking Rotenberg is SKA ready to accept Nuke...
Don't see much options this season other than playing for the Avs
Cannot be bought out
Surely he won't walk away from the contract
Doubt anyone wants to trade for Nuke atm
Not so sure. Nuke probably is considered a liability since you just don't know if he will be available the whole season + he has 6 years left on the contract.I mean he was a PPG player in the regular. I bet there are teams that won't mind to get him, especially if the Avs really want to get rid of him and don't ask a lot.
He will stay and failed another time.And if he goes will any NHL team sign him or it's the KHL? I mean Russian journos are already asking Rotenberg is SKA ready to a
Nuke for laine with some retention. A problematic fin for a problematic russian
What is Avs cap situation like?
Is Landeskog expected to return next season? From what I’ve read it sounds like he could be back at some point but that seems like a tough hill to climb. He’s turning 32 and hasn’t played a game in over 2 years and previous to that he’s been missing 25-30 games a year since 18-19.
Nichkushkin on the other hand seems like he can be reinstated around November. If he does what he needs to in the PA program.
Do Avs fans feel confident both will be returning this season and if so, how much cap will they need to create in order to fit both in?

Pretty sure suspended players still have the full cap hit count against the team cap for the full season. The team doesn't get any relief because one of their players breaks the rulesThe short answer is that the Avs management have taken this into consideration and should be fine once Nichuskin is reinstated to have everyone in the lineup.
The long answer is more complicated. If I’m not mistaken they have budgeted to allow both. Their current total cap hit including Nuke is roughly $91m and without is $85m (~$3m in cap space). Nuke’s contract will have a prorated cap hit of about 16-17 games (approx $4.9m cap hit). My understanding is that it’s almost like Nichuskin is unsigned until his reinstatement day. This should therefore allow the Avs to accrue space on the $3m they are under the cap. The combination of the two will allow for Nichuskin to come back and fit inside the cap.
