Nikishin reportedly wants a hefty $8M annual salary, a steep ask for a first-year pro, even with strong Russian experience. While he’s brushed off trade rumors and acknowledged rising player values, his resume doesn’t yet justify top-tier pay — a $5–6.5M bridge deal seems more realistic. With August winding down and September looming, fans are watching closely to see if a resolution happens before the season kicks off.
