from Mike Knobler at Thrashers Blog,
The Thrashers remain hopeful of signing defenseman Ilya Nikulin, their second-round pick from 2000. The latest: His agent has to prove to the NHL that Nikulin’s 2008-09 contract with the Russian team Ak Bars of Kazan has an escape clause that allows him to play in the NHL. That contract, of course, is in Russian.
“The agent has to prove that his contract has an out. The agent is spending a lot of money, $1,000 to get it translated,” Thrashers general manager Don Waddell said Wednesday. “It’s got to go to the NHL office, and they have to be able to read it to approve it. That’s the process that’s going on right now.
