In a recent report, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic noted that the St. Louis Blues are interested in Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Alexander Nikishin, who remains an unsigned RFA. The Hurricanes are contemplating trade options for Nikishin, potentially seeking a top-six forward in return. St. Louis, having previously considered trading Robert Thomas, now appears less inclined to do so under new GM Alexander Steen, though they might explore trading assets like Jordan Binnington. Nikishin’s successful rookie season adds to his appeal, making him a strong fit for the Blues’ defense.
