Would be huge for Philly. Excited to see him play.

 

[Fatass]

Great for the Flyers, if true. Fun for fans too. His games will be must watch.

Could this pave the way for a nikishin contract termination?

 

[hurdemz]

Is he as good as everyone been hyping him up to be? Comparable?

I havnt been following him

Mix of Kuch and Kap.

Insanely talented player. Always one of the top players in his age group. Unique.

If true, he’ll make a pretty big impact for them next season, especially on the power play (32nd in the NHL).

Philly may want to consider selling off some of their older players to complement the retool/rebuild.

Awesome news for the Flyers if true.

 

[Sweetpotato]

Congrats Philly fans. Hopefully he hits the ground running.

Are the Hurricanes ownership willing to negotiate a buyout of the remainder of Alexander Nikishin’s contract with SKA St. Petersburg?

We'll need to see for sure, but as of now I'd say probably.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Congrats Philly fans. Hopefully he hits the ground running.

That’s probably not a good idea considering Philly’s luck with acquiring hyped players from overseas.

Matvei might break something, further dashing the hopes of Flyers fans acquiring a sorely needed natural goal scorer.

The Flyers can’t have anything nice, keeping in spirit with the prospect curse.

Clubs aren't allowed to pay buyout, per CBA. Player would need to do it himself.

Yakupov

 

[Taluss]

Wasn't expecting this. Awesome! Happy for flyers fans

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

looking dumber and dumber to pass on him as time goes by

I just hope he won't be a Super Star because then the Habs and his recruiting team will look like buffoons.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

next year’s Blackhawks-Flyers games just became a hot ticket

 

[fahad203]

He weights 147 pound ?

They don't have food in Russia?

 

[Fatass]

Yakupov

I see Kharlamov watching Michkov.

Hockeydb and some other sources are hilariously out of date on specs.

He’s probably gonna be 180+ by this fall and plays with a low center of gravity and tremendous balance. He’s short but stocky like Bedard.

 

[hockeykicker]

The contract with the St. Petersburg club will be terminated until 2026, and the rights to the hockey player in the KHL will remain with the army team.

I assume the translation made it weird but what?

 

[EdJovanovski]

Should've went 2nd overall

Did he even grant an interview? He was so cagey with who he'd speak to. I don't draft a kid that I can't sit down with.
