## Resource

Alexander Nikishin, the 24-year-old Hurricanes defenseman who helped win the Stanley Cup last season, is seeking a “change of scenery” and remains unsigned as a restricted free agent. Standing 6’3” and packing 218 pounds with a lethal left-handed shot, he’s drawing strong interest from the St. Louis Blues — who desperately need his size and skill — while Nashville and Winnipeg are also in the mix. Fans are stunned he’d want to leave post-championship, suspecting his real motive may be chasing a better contract after an explosive rookie year that netted 33 points. His future could hinge on whether Carolina re-signs him or trades him short-term to St. Louis. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
