NHL Stunned: Nikita Kucherov’s Unexpected Trade Demand Sparks League-Wide Speculation
How do we get here? Well, you start with the fact that he’s a pending UFA, and most people around the league, quite frankly, were surprised when the NHL season started and the reigning Hart Trophy winner wasn’t signed to an extension.

Tampa Bay Lightning Forward Nikita Kucherov Asks for a Trade
My colleague Chris Johnston has reported that Kucherov asked for six years and $20 million a year, as he probably should in this new NHL landscape, but we also know that Tampa runs a really tight salary cap, and they’re not scared to make tough decisions. Look at the way Steven Stamkos left the Tampa Bay Lightning. So a messy situation, and certainly far from resolved.
