Yikes!

Not good Canes. Why would you f*** around with your top prospect lmao.

 

[Michoulicious]

The player's agent looks pissed at Carolina's management... There seems to be problems with getting him signed for some reason.

He even talks about going back to Russia or asking for a trade. Kid is already 23 and will be 24 years old in October.

I think he could return a heck of a package if he ends up traded... Which sounds ridiculous, but when the agent get that loud publicly, it is not a good look.



Can't imagine Canes won't come back to their senses, but still, what could they get for that potential future 1st pair RHD?

 

[MOGlLNY]

Hurricanes fans are going to despise Dundon the second they take a downturn the same way Sabres fans hate Pegula.

Winning solves all ills but some alarming signs for sure when things won't be going so great.

 

[DemidovSaveUs]

That owner is a problem. Fine, Jircek for Nikishin.

 

[Michoulicious]

Dundon dundonning.

 

[DemidovSaveUs]

Jiricek + Brodin

I'm still confused about the timeline. He's practicing with the team and got a U.S. work visa without a signed contract?

So he's been practicing but not actually getting paid for it?

Genius work by the Canes

If he falls and gets severely injured during practice, what happens to him?

 

[Ezpz]

There's no way he signs there if they're not willing to burn the ELC year. The question is which team is getting Nikishin? This type of statement usually only comes out after the bridge is burnt, not just as a pressure-applying tactic.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Montreal should be all over this

 

[Michoulicious]

Jiricek + Brodin

Yurov + Jiricek.

Gotta get a Russian back, if just for the drama.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Oh man. One of Kulich, Helenius or Ostlund would be on the table for him from my viewpoint. Possibly even two of them.

 

[MrLunatik]

I gave the Hurricanes a pass on the Rantanen situation, but if it is indeed true they are always difficult to work with, it does shine a new light on that and now I can't help but wonder

If he falls and gets severely injured during practice, what happens to him?

he may be under a PTO

 

[Turin]

Pens need a LD. You can have Karlsson+

 

[Canovin]

Oilers burned one year of ELC for Quinn Hutson. Would be a dream to add Nikishin to the Oilers.

just what we need, another LHD

Dundon will never allow that, but yes they should be.

 

[Michoulicious]

He plays RD I think

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Dundon will never allow that, but yes they should be.

Sasha wants to come play with his friend Ivan in the mecca of hockey

 

[DemidovSaveUs]

Yurov + Jiricek.

I mean that’s just a lot for another prospect tho

 

[Chainshot]

just what we need, another LHD

Gotta get 'em all.
