Potential franchise all-star Dman. Likely having to wait until next season for him to be released from KHL but he has the makings of being a stud. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/514652/alexander-nikishin https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/carolina-hurricanes/latest-news/alexander-nikishin-wins-multiple-khl-awards Edited June 1 by RWJC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would definitely take Lekky and taking full cap of kokeniemi to get him... But in order for this to even be considered, Hronek would have to sign for 7 or less. Carolina won't pay top dollar for him. Would Nikishin be okay being a #3 defender longterm?

Kotkaniemi could live up to his potential... he is still just a kid... big, strong and skilled. Right now he is not playing up to potential... but Mikheyev isn't either and I am not sure Mik comes back hot next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Tim Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 The things I would do for Nikishin... thing is, Carolina is likely aware of how good he is right now and his sky high potential... would take more than Hronek + Lekk I'm afraid. Hard pass on Kotkaniemi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
