## Resource

The St. Louis Blues may be eyeing big, left-shot defenseman Alexander Nikishin from Carolina, who’s a restricted free agent with a rumored $8M price tag—though both teams might balk at that cost. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes could trade Nikishin as part of a massive deal to land a top goalie, potentially involving draft picks and multiple players. In Montreal, winger Zachary Bolduc is nearing a lucrative three-year, $4M deal, while defenseman Arber Xhekaj remains uncertain despite being a fan favorite—still waiting to see if he locks into a consistent top-pairing role. Offseason chaos continues as teams juggle talent, contracts, and bold moves ahead of the season. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
