Skookum Jim wrote on Fri, 28 April 2023 12:30 .. more on Nichushkin's incident in Seattle.. Appears to have been a 28 year old woman from Ukraine (who says her passport was taken away by "somebody") .. Police report doesn't state whether he was in the room (or not) when police arrived. Could be Nichushkin called for an escort from this "somebody" and a woman that was being trafficked (and drugged) arrived.. no charges, but I don't think Nichushkin will be playing anytime soon.. One thing I found interesting.. apparently the Avs have 2 off-duty Denver policemen travel with the team as security.. article says this is not uncommon for NHL teams.. I wonder if Oil do the same? https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/kraken/police-report-she ds-light-on-avalanche-star-nichushkins-early-departure-from- seattle/ If you have $80 million in 20 year olds wandering around a city away from home, hiring a couple of former badged babysitters is probably a cheap and wise investment.

True, there is a lot of franchise investment there.. didn't think they'd be used as babysitters during personal time though, more for fan security during team travel.. whatever happened, not a bright move by Nichushkin..

Oh.. and apparently he's married.. oops!
Ol' Valeri's got some splainin' to do!
