Much ado about nothing. This is his Russian agent making a stink to Russian media. The guy isn't even in communication with Carolina. Nikishin is not going anywhere.
Rumor: Alexander Nikishin contract dispute?

I'm frustrated but it's worth noting that this is his Russian/KHL representative talking, and not his US agent, Ryan Barnes.
There is absolutely reason to take what is being said with a grain of salt given where it is coming from.

He's the best drafted prospect outside of the NHL IMO.

Given the source, I wouldn't take this at face value

He's not. Tulsky confirmed, they want him to play in the AHL...
Looks like he doesn't.

I'm confused also. And that contract is 2 years, so he can't even negotiate anything more at the moment?
Or maybe he is talking about the fact Nikishin isn't playing?
Puckpedia didn't have NMC for Arvidsson and Henrique until Freidman tweeted before the deadline

Just FYI puckpedia and other sites are not run by the NHL, they're based on media reports. There have been multiple cases where they had no idea a player had a NTC/NMC.

This isn't even his American reps mentioning this. This same "agent" wasn't blowing hot air about this almost 10 days ago on a russian news outlet. If Q comes out and says this, i'll be worried.
My point is work visa wise and personal insurance, one would assume that a contract would be signed before he stepped on a plane????

Isn't he good enough now to be an option for the Hurricanes and not the Wolves?
I can see how they may feel slighted.

If the agent’s tweets are accurate, then as described above, this seems like a poor way to begin a relationship with a prospect.

PIT gives: Rickard Rakell
CAR gives: Alexander Nikishin, 2026 1st (the lower of the CAR/DAL 1sts.) If the DAL 1st should defer to 2027, PIT would get the lower 1st in 2027.

Well then its good that the agent quoted isn't allowed to talk to the Canes, he's a KHL agent.
Looks like Carolina is holding him in limbo.
Poor guy. He didn't get out of his SKA contract early and travel all the way to Carolina for this shit.

If Carolina never signs him and gets eliminated and Nikishin goes to the AHL does that mean he potentially wouldn't get credit for this year and the contract would roll over?
I can't imagine a scenario where Carolina is down / close to elimination where they wouldn't want to sign him and get him into the lineup, they just look much much better than NJ at the moment so they don't need to put him in.

sorry to say the added 1st would not be on Carolina’s side my man

RIP Fugu
If things get ugly maybe call up Canucks and see about a Wallinder swap
Both teams poisoning well with regard to relationship with prospect would make it interesting swap potentially
