Wait...he is practicing without a contract? Is that for real? Puckpedia has what appears to be confirmed contract info.
As we discussed before, there shouldn't be a single part of this entry level contract with Nikishin that is difficult to figure out. You model it like he was top 3 pick in the NHL draft. Now if we are going to play shell games about signed or not signed yet, then what are we really still picking at? Are the Canes trying to get his entry level contract to start NEXT season if we don't end up needing him to play a game for us THIS season? If so, I'm pretty surprised that his agency would allow him to practice with the Canes without a signed contract.
I'm confused unless we are really trying to push off a contract signing for THIS season unless we actually need him to play. I get how that would be beneficial for the Canes....but that is totally not beneficial for Nikishin and his free agency status.
