Surely when this goes through we'll have less chicken littles and a little more patience in the future. Right guys? Guys?

What is this "patience" you speak of?

It checks. Russian media reported that an extension past the ELC was being negotiated. The AAV quoted from that source was $4M/yr... Can't imagine Nikishin agrees to that with any real term, personally I'd go higher AAV and take a chance on him being the stud we all think he is and lock him up for 8 years this summer even having barely seen him here. But If we go like 2-3 year extension at $4M/yr with a big signing bonus I can't argue with that either. We have him pretty cheap for 3-4 years and he gets an immediate big pay day. Then probably (hopefully his play warrants it) a massive 8 year deal in a few years.

All this account does is re-package info that’s already been reported and claim he got it from his “source”.

He’s as much an insider as my cable guy

Yeah, dude is Eklund E5ing things that are already being reported by the people with actual info and connections or throwing out random BS. Not a lot of actual breaking news there.

My side eye for "journalism conducted by emoji" is exceeded only by the fact that 2020s journalism is typically worse than emoji-quality in the first place.

All I ask is that he annihilate one opponent before the end of the season. Just to send a message.

 

[Stickpucker]

He gets off the plane and Rod has Nikishin have a fitness showdown with Burns.

Winner gets to start the rest of the season.

Tbh I'd like him to do his fitness test mid season. I know Burns was highly ranked pre season but has it tanked after 42 games??

fitness test should be done just before playoffs

With the announcement from legitimate Russian sources but nothing from the Canes or SKA I am expecting some fanfare to be involved. All the other SKA releases were announced by them first before other Russian sources

Google translate:
"In the playoffs, Alexander Nikishin played 4 matches, in which he earned 3 (2+1) points with a usefulness rating of “0”."

Great. Just signed and already rated "not useful."

Even Google translate hates the plus minus stat
