I don't think the Canes will trade Nikishin. They will be patient because when he comes over he instantly will be a great player for them, and on a cheap entry level contract. There's some advantages to these Russian contracts. Philly will have the same benefit with Michkov. When he comes over he will be a better player but still on the cheap entry deal. Huge cap advantage.
But yeah i agree trying to get Morrow or Nadeau would be great. They've got a bunch of other skilled, but undersized guys that are intriguing. Get them to throw in one of them. They have too many anyways. I'll take Justin Robidas.
