They said supposedly Avs will trade Mikko if they think they can’t re-sign him. How will they know if they can or can’t re-sign him with less than 2 months to go until trade deadline? Are they actively negotiating right now? It’s been pretty quiet on that front.

If Carolina was down, I'd give them Rantanen for Nikishin, Drury and their 1st round pick.

Then turn around and give Vancouver Mittelstadt, Ritchie, and Carolina's 1st for Pettersson.

F*** reality. Nobody tell me no. I'm gonna go dream of it and all the cups we'd win. Assholes.

This makes us a worse team. I don’t get it. Going from Mikko to EP is a downgrade. Drury is what, a bottom 6 forward? Just 9 points in 33 games this year and Nikishin is a prospect playing in KHL

I can't stop thinking about a Nikishin+Necas return for Mikko...

Which is funny cuz I honestly don't know much about nikishin.

I think re-signing Mikko has to be Plan A. But I keep thinking about Svech+Nikishin.

Svech under contract at $7.75M and playing a playoff brand of physical hockey is a better fit for this team than Necas IMO, and Nikishin might be that top 4 two way LD with size and skill I've wanted for a while, that could play every once in a while with Makar if he pans out, and take some pressure off Toews.

Only way it makes sense is if they can upgrade 2C at the same time though. Otherwise it's too big a downgrade this year from Mikko to Svech to do it.

You buy out Nikishin's KHL contract, he immediately steps in and plays top 4 on most, if not all, NHL teams. You get an NHL bottom-six forward to take the place of an AHL scrub, and you get a real center behind MacKinnon. F*** it.

EP is not worth giving up Mikko for, and definitely not at 11 mill. If I’m trading Mikko for a center, I’d prefer someone like Eichel. Not saying Eichel is available, just an example type of center I’d want

Nikishin's contract actually ends this year. No need for a buyout. If SKA's season ends early, they could bring him over for the playoffs like they did Kovalenko if they want to.
