He’s an absolute stud. 95% chance to be a star is ridiculous but I like the odds a lot. People think the Canes D has been good the last several years, wait til they see Boom Nikishin here

I found it funny throughout the season seeing top prospect lists with him outside the top-10
LIke what more do you want to see in a prospect other than draft pedigree?

Everytime this thread gets bumped I keep thinking he is magically coming over to the NHL or something right now

Ya I know.. but each time it's randomly bumped it always comes to mind that he's on his way over NOW for some reason lol
He is a good player obviously, but the 95% is dumb. Should be an NHLer, but I am not sure his offense would translate, see him more as a 40 pt guy rather than 70 pt guy
Belarus ? Great prospect but needs to keep working on his all round game. Never sleep on your laurels Alexander.

Still a potential top pairing defensive defenseman who can put up 40 with his physicality would be incredible. His defensive prowess should translate and he could immediately step into the NHL as a top 5-10 biggest hitter league wide.
Flag is wrong in that graphic, he's Russian
I got a keeper draft and you get a player for 7 years. His point total in KHL is very impressive..55 in 65 as a 21 year old. Offensively what do people see out of him. I would have guessed 50 to 65 is doable. But…someone has already said 40.
What do the people that watch the KHL and know this player think he can put up? 40, 50, 60, 70??

I think that he is going to be a better NHL player than fantasy player so he wouldn't be full value, let someone else take the chance and go for a better chance of reaching potential offensively and sometimes that's a pure skill guy who is better fantasywise than as a NHL Dman.

There's some Shea Weber to his game for me. I would say whatever you thought he was, that might be Nikishin's upside.

Those highlights of the point shots and him jumping up into the play and scoring are not reminiscent of a 40 point D man.

That’s what most of us canes fans figure, that orlov will hold the spot until Nikishin hopefully comes over. Was curious if that poster meant something else, though.

Nice assist in his first game of the season with SKA. Is he the best defensive prospect outside of the NHL right now?

The KHL are now playing on smaller ice, no? Or very close to NA size rink
