Athletistic/Hockey. SKA defenseman Alexander Nikishin has explained why he’s in no rush to move to the NHL.

It should be noted that the player has already been drafted by the Carolinas. Earlier, Nikishin moved from Spartak to SKA. The Saint Petersburg club gave the right to nine players for the defender.

“They called Carolina the day after the transfer announcement. They think I’ve taken a step forward, so they’re happy. I’m not making big plans now. Even signing a three-year contract there At one year, I understood this time to spend in the KHL.

You shouldn’t go abroad to sit on a bench. I prefer to prove everything to SKA first,” Nikishin said.
