Also, is a top Canadiens prospect ready for a permanent role?
All that and more on this edition of Deen's Daily — August 14.

Valeri Nichushkin spoke to a Russian outlet about the trade out of Colorado. Personally, I think it'll be tough to see him with another team. He was such a huge piece of this core for so long.
Anyway, here's what he said.
I'm starting to sift through the Mailbag questions and get some responses out. I tackled a big one yesterday and I'll get another one up later this morning.
As for yesterday's, the question was in relation to whether Jared Bednar will truly give the young players a chance.
