Andrei Balandin spoke about the return of Valery Nichushkin to Colorado. In May, the forward entered the third stage of the NHL player assistance program. He was suspended for 6 months without pay.
He will return to the team`s lineup against Washington on November 16th.
I read about Nichushkin`s return. Although I’m afraid to say something, because we have already been happy for Valerka more than once, but, unfortunately, he could not restrain himself and ended up in this rehab again. However, let`s hope that this is the last time and this will not happen again.
We hope for Valerka. We will expect that he will continue to delight us with goals, that he will help Colorado, that he will play with dignity.
When hockey players are out for such a long period of time, it is very difficult to get in shape. Especially if the player is close to 30. There is a reserve, but there is no need to get into such situations anymore, ” said former Traktor director Andrei Balandin.
