Carolina Hurricanes sign restricted free agent defenseman Alexander Nikishin
The Carolina Hurricanes have signed defenseman Alexander Nikishin to a one-year, $3 million contract to end a contract stalemate with a restricted free agent yet to play this season. The reigning Stanley Cup champions announced the deal Sunday, coming after Nikishin’s name had been mentioned as a potential trade candidate as he sat out to start the year. In a statement, general manager Eric Tulsky called it “a long process” but said the team was eager to bring him back into the fold.
Nikishin worked as a third-pairing defenseman during last year's run to the Cup.
