Personally, I wouldn't let him within 5 miles of the practice rink without a contract though. I've seen fans speculating about that and screw that noise.

Rod's comments a day or so ago pretty much said the same..."if you decide to sign and come back and play here fine, if you don't, also fine. We gotta move on and get going here".

One insider gives a story and every outlet twists it and publishes it with opinions sprinkled in. Funny how many people think their GM will aquire Nikishin for a washed up vet or prospect. Tulsky will let him rot on the vine before giving him away for a draft pick. No one is going to trade for him without a sign and trade type deal. Too much risk. Can't trust him nor his agent.

I just hope any trade involves true and equal value coming back, because if it's not, I would also be in that same corner of let him rot all season long and squeeze him real good.

The thing about RBA is that he never sat back and relied on his skills without hard work. He took his father’s advice to heart— doesn’t matter where you play, if you’ve got talent and a work ethic, they will find you. So, RBA is never going to worry about the Nikishin’s of the world when he’s got talent and hardware/hardwork in front of here and now.
