Is Alex Nikishin a player you’d want the Bruins to trade for? 🧐

The 24 year old left-shot defenseman is coming off a Stanley Cup winning season with the Carolina Hurricanes, in 17 playoff games, he registered a point while averaging around 15 min. of TOI. Nikishin is known as a heavy-hitting defender.

According to AFP Analytics, he could sign a short term deal at two-years, $3.7M a season or a longer contract at six-years, $6.4M AAV. The Hurricanes have around $9M in cap space but have not yet signed him 😳
 
Thoughts? Who would you trade for Nikishin?
