Trading away Alexander Nikishin could shake up the Hurricanes’ entire season. The rookie defenseman has quickly become a fan favorite in Carolina for his tough play and unique attitude—he’d rather dish out hits than drop the gloves. Now, with the team reportedly open to moving him for a proven star, fans are split: is it worth sacrificing Nikishin’s grit and upside for a shot at the Stanley Cup, or should the Canes build around their rising star? If you were GM, would you make the deal or keep Nikishin in Carolina? #Sports #IceHockey #Hurricanes
