NHL rumors: Avalanche's Valeri Nichushkin 'complication' to Jonathan Drouin free agency
The Colorado Avalanche had a respectable run in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Among the losses was Valeri Nichushkin, who is under suspension for six months after a failed drug test. Nichushkin's situation creates an intriguing complication for the Avs when it comes to resigning Jonathan Drouin in NHL free agency. Veteran agent Allan Walsh represents Drouin and David Person, both of which will be unrestricted free agents.
