## Resource

Nashville’s circling Alexander Nikishin, a 24-year-old RFA with Carolina, as contract talks stall—blame maybe lies in Carolina’s history of modest deals. But this isn’t just one team’s headache: no-move clauses are locking up stars like Marner and Matthews, turning roster flexibility into a nightmare league-wide. Teams like Florida could be stuck with aging vets protected by these clauses, making trades impossible even when they’re needed. The NHLPA’s next CBA will likely cap how many new no-move deals teams can sign—can’t undo existing ones, but can stop the flood. And yes, the Predators? They’re right in the middle of this mess too.
