ASKING FOR MORE?! Carolina Hurricanes' Alexander Nikishin Asking More than $8M a Season

As we're now into August, it'll be the last month without regular-season hockey. That said, the Carolina Hurricanes are in a contract stalemate with Russian defenseman Alexander Nikishin. After an exclusive interview with RG Media, do we have any updates on the progression of contract talks? On the Monday Edition of Locked On Hurricanes,  Zach begins the show by sharing his thoughts on the RG Media interview that Nikishin had at the end of July. When asked about what he's looking for, what was his answer? Does it make sense? Secondly, Zach shares his thoughts on how the ask is high, especially with him only having one year of NHL experience. Furthermore, does he deserve more than K'Andre Miller and Jaccob Slavin? Finally, Zach concludes the show by sharing his thoughts on the recent signings surrounding the NHL. While the Hurricanes have been quiet, the rest of the league hasn't been. All of that and more, on the latest edition of Locked On Hurricanes.        Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms:  🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCarolinaHurricanes?sid=YouTube  Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More:  🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL      Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
