Prospect Info: #69(nice)OA - Hurricanes select LHD Alexander Nikishin (Spartak - KHL)

Assuming there are zero visa issues etc….

St. Petersburg to Washington DC direct flying on a gulf stream 650ER or a Global 7500/8000 is possible without fueling stops….its about 7200 kilometers….

But at normal cruise for those private long haul planes, that’s easily 9.5+ hours each way not accounting for the jet stream coming back…. Not to mention that’s easy $250k private rate for both legs to go and come back after picking him up.

Possible… but only leaving late last night and trying to be back in USA this evening? That’s a lot of flying in one day…. Would certainly send a message if our GM fly all that way with his agent to make an impression to fly him and his significant other and family back this way…..
 
What a solid interview. Seems to me that the holdup was that the canes are not guaranteeing a spot in the lineup in the playoffs where I am sure Montreal did.

Right because you know. Burns' "ironman" streak is way more important than you know.... The franchise. Maybe sit someone for the best prospect we've had in how long? Jesus this boneheaded f***ing team.

I like Burns as a person but I will be glad when his ass is GONE. The dude is f***ing cooked, and the amount of minutes and situations he gets is pants on head stupid, and one of these days, this shit is going to cost RBA his job because he is so f***in stubborn.

Don’t worry I’m sure there will be a different AARP member on the team that Rod will overdeploy. Was referring more to Nikishins response, he seems to have the right attitude
 
I don’t think the team has had its 6 regular defensemen healthy for a playoff run at any time in the Brind’Amour coaching era. Someone will get hurt, he’ll get minutes
Can it be Burns? Not even sorry any more. Shit is selfish.

Or, sit Jost who is worthless and roll 7D. Give Burns 1 min then pine his ass.
 
Wooohoooo! Finally! It feels like forever we have been waiting for his contract to end…. Glad we will finally get to see him for real in our jersey…. Can’t wait to see him layout the first big classic hip check :)

Umm given the current environment it seems odd that visas would take too long. Can’t Dundon purchase a certain gaudy looking gold card and write it off as a business expense for the team? 🤪
 
Seravalli tweets about Nikishin: Visa delays will prevent Nikishin to play in Canada for our last two games. Expects Nikishin to start with us during playoffs.

Unless ghost is hurt and can’t go I have a hard time seeing Rod play him game 1 of the playoffs unless they dress 7 d
