Oilers sign Nikita Nikitin (2yrs, $4.5mil AAV). Blue Jackets get 5th round pick.
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
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.
update 2:
Aaron Portzline @Aportzline
#Oilers have signed D Nikita Nikitin. #CBJ will get a 5th-round draft pick.

Cripes, another guy that is more offense than defense (although he is at least dependable in his own zone) AND he's a Russian flight risk? Well done Mac-T, never change.

Nikita Nikitin two seasons ago played 43% of his team's PP time and 49% of PK time. Last season, 14% and 13%. http://www.extraskater.com/player/249/nikita-nikitin …

Good move by oilers if they can get him signed. Was hoping he would be Butlers replacement.

Que the call to the NHL head office to complain they had Nikitin before [insert team name here] if the deal doesn't go down.

It looks like the Blue Jackets have given the Oilers a negotiating window to talk to Nikitin with the understanding the Oilers will give up an asset if the Oilers can get Nikitin to agree to a deal

I heard the hold up is that instead of a draft pick Mac T was offering gift certificates to the water park at West Edmonton Mall.

But it is only a matter of time before Nikitin agrees to sign his newly minted 6 x 6, and CBJ makes the deal to move him.

Didnt know you can do this type of deal, negotiate freely with the possibility of no deal being made? Doesnt seem right.
