Realistically they'll probably just try and flip his rights if Nikita's ask doesn't align with their vision and I'd be fine with that
Open to keeping him, absolutely, not interested in paying him as a 4 if Soucy comes back and he ends up playing 5 minutes though
Nikita brings positive attributes but I'd rather management get a longer look at him as a Canuck before extending him in order to ascertain exactly what he is
Zadorov was a 5 in Calgary, he had Weegar, Hanifin, Tanev, and Andersson ahead of him
I'm open to reallocating more cap from our forward group to our D, I've been saying it's something we should be doing for a while, but that doesn't mean I'm interested in overpaying guys
