NHL Shake-Up: Islanders Eye Nikishin, While Three Surprising Teams Battle for Simon Edvinsson
Will the New York Islanders’ interest in Alexander Nikishin pick up after Alexander Romanov’s injury?
Stefen Rosner: Believe that the New York Islanders had previously talked to the Carolina Hurricanes about RFA defenseman Alexander Nikishin. At that time, they likely couldn’t afford the AAV that he was looking for. Now, with Alexander Romanov out six to eight months, maybe they can afford it now. What about Detroit Red Wings Simon Edvinsson?
Three teams that could use someone like Simon Edvinsson
Eric Cruikshank of The Hockey News: So Elliotte Friedman reported over the weekend that the 23-year-old RFA Simon Edvinsson would prefer a trade from the Detroit Red Wings. If traded, the acquiring team would have to be able to fit in a new, big contract, which wouldn’t be easy for a lot of teams, on top of the assets needed to acquire him.
