The best defensive perspective Alexander Nikishin seems to be on the right way to join the Hurricanes de Caroline As he was just released from his KHL contract With Ska St. Petersburg.
His contract was to expire on May 31But mutually agreed termination will allow him to go immediately to North America once a visa and a contract with the Caroline are on the square.
Nikishin, 23, is considered one of the best players outside the NHL.
A rare combination of size (6 feet 4 inches, 220 pounds) and competence (defender KHL coherent from KHL), Nikishin plays in all situations and can burn you with his capacities or his physics.
Former Captain SKA is the record holder of all KHL time for the most seasonal points by a Blueliner born in Russia (56), a record he set twice in consecutive years.
The 6 -foot 4 -inch Blueliner is also the leader of all ska times by a defender, ending his KHL career with 157 in 193 games.
The choice of third round of 2020 (acquired from Buffalo in exchange for Jeff Skinner) seems to be a real diamond in the change of raw game if he can resume his game at the NHL level.
There is always the question of an agreement in the NHLAlthough it has been reported by the Russian journalist Artur Khairullin that it will be a two-year ELC which is starting this season, as well as the acquisition of a visa for the Russian Blueliner, but perhaps he can do in time to play in a few regular season games.
