Prospect

Strong defender headed to Carolina
DCarolina Hurricanes  Foreign
October 7, 2020
Nikishin was drafted 69th overall by the Hurricanes at the 2020 NHL Entry Draft on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Carolina clearly relied on their local Russian scouts to get a good read on Nikishin. He spent virtually the entirety of last season in the KHL as an 18-year-old, but barely played most nights. Nikishin's size (6-foot-3, 195 pounds) is intriguing and he looks like a steady, two-way defender with smarts, wheels and strength. But it's all just potential until we see how he fares in extended minutes playing against older competition. Nikishin is expected to spend multiple seasons in the KHL.

May 20, 2024
Nikishin and the Hurricanes are working on a contract ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
General manager Don Waddell told reporters he would like to figure out Nikishin's contract season before the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, which would give the team some guidance on where its blue line stands. The 22-year-old defenseman racked up 17 goals and 39 helpers in 67 KHL games this season, his second straight campaign in which he reached the 55-point threshold.
