Leonid Vaisfeld believes that Alexander Nikishin is already ripe for the NHL.


The defenseman was selected 69th overall by Carolina in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.





- Nikishin is very good this season, but I don`t consider him a clear attacking defender. The attackers were Kevin Dallman or Chris Lee. Alexander is a very versatile player. He may win the scoring race among defensive players, but scoring is not his dominant quality.


In my opinion, Nikishin is already ripe for the NHL, so joining SKA until the end of the 2024/25 season looks like a controversial decision. Alexander has everything to become a real star not only here, but also overseas.


Let`s say Orlov is a very good defenseman by NHL standards, but he lacks size, while Nikishin has an advantage in size. Or take Sergachev - a very good, big defender. But not as versatile as potentially Nikishin, " said the former general manager of KHL clubs prediction by buy football picks .
