Nikishin's level sits somewhere in the 6 to 10M range, though the exact figure remains unclear. With PP contributions included, he could reach 11 or 12M - an outcome unlikely to materialize in Carolina. The trade deadline will be worth monitoring

#GoHabsGo rookie Jacob Fowler has won his 4th start in a row. He has had ups and downs during this stint but his overall numbers are .925 SV% and 0.725 GSAx/60, and he has allowed just 1 goal out of 8 shootout shots
That's why Mehta has offered a better package. Prime Hellebuyck is the missing piece of the puzzle for them
#NJDevils 5v5 stats right now:
2.130 xGA/60 (3rd)
-0.315 GSAx/60 (26th)
2.44 GA/60 (15th)
.898 SV% (20th)
#GoJetsGo get a solid return package. Mercer hasn't played consistently but he has scored 40+ points three times, and a change of scenery could help him increase the numbers. He is also under team control until 2028, at least
And there are additional assets in #12 overall pick Command, Daws, and picks, while pending UFA Bjugstad is expected to miss next 3-5 months
Which version of Connor Hellebuyck does New Jersey get?
