Don’t feed the Toronto hysteria with trade offers like this. We don’t do this

Even less percentage that ska lets Nikishin go after trading 9 pieces for him

How much would it cost to buy out his contract, can SKA do anything if we do buy it out?

Just dreaming about Nikishin, I know it’s almost a certainty we don’t see him until 2025 unless Dundon backs up a ton of cash. Also just was playing with how we might fill the roster if we did decide to move a few guys on the last year of their deal for Marner.

Probably at least a couple million. And they can just say no.

You think it’s Leafs fans trying to trade Marner to Carolina? All I see is Carolina fans offering some variation of Pesce Necas/Jarvis and a pick

Leaf fans would rather see the long overdue Nylander trade to the Canes rumor come true.

The KHL / NHL thing is strange since there isn’t a formal player transfer agreement in place between the leagues (like there is with, say, SHL). Nikishin could technically just walk away from his KHL deal and nothing would bar him from signing in Carolina, other than the league rejecting the contract (the NHL has bigger and broader factors to consider). Malkin left his deal early to join the Penguins. Miroshnichenko terminated his KHL to sign with Capitals. But had to forecast what it would take without knowing what sort of outs are included in Nikishin’s deal (NA agents don’t have access to KHL contracts…the transfer agreement with other leagues provides this information)
