EDM acquires negotiating rights to pending UFA D Nikita Nikitin from CBJ.

update:

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
Clarification: EDM has window in which it's permissible to negotiate with CBJ pending UFA Nikita Nikitin, but no trade has yet been made.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
Bottom line: EDM is, for a specified time, able to make a pitch to Nikitin. If a contract can be worked out, EDM and CBJ can conclude trade.
