[Nikishin Go Boom]

Has Dundon considered buying an AHL team and moving it to St. Petersburg?

 

[TheBigLetowski]

What does Don mean where he says decision will be made before trade deadline? Is he on the table if he doesn't come over for next season?

Necas+Nikishin would be some serious trade assets.

Not trade deadline, the draft. They need to know where they stand so they can build a team for next year.

If I had to guess, Necas is being traded by or at the Draft & they’d like to know if Nikishin is coming so they know what their needs are going to be.

Edit - @Svechhammer was quicker to respond.

I meant Draft, but yeah that makes sense. Thanks!

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

DW had to stop himself on our involvement in the negotiations to bring him over. Hopefully we can give Nikishin the bonuses to make it happen.

Think I posted this once but I'm gonna do it again. This one is for Alex

Oh god, I'm really starting to set myself up to be disappointed again...

This must be how my wife feels.

That's only for a few mins of disappointment, this a years worth

wait, which one is years worth, Nikishin or the wife? ...maybe both?

 

[Lempo]

Sure woke us up before he go go.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

[Lempo]

It makes me crazy when you act so cruel

 

[Chrispy]

I’m hoping he’s not planning on going solo.

 

[HisIceness]

Boo

[Borsig]

Biggest cock tease ever

 

[UNCCHcane]

lol yes you would for $100 million

 

[Unsustainable]

100m Rubles is my guess which is 1.1m USD

 

[Justicebork]

 

[spockBokk]

he’s SKA’s captain and their best player, no way they’d ever give him up while he still has term left on his current contract.

No news here really. Maybe he comes over to help the playoff push next year. Otherwise, they’ll need to look eslewhere to rebuild the D for this coming season.

That makes the quote even worse. Dundo's got a milli rolling around in the cupholder of one of his subprime repos. Go on and pack your shit up Nikishin - you're on the first Tupelov out of St. Petersburg.
