From Sunday's Citizen and Sun, Nikulin will go home if he is not dealt. This will allow the Sens to suspend him Monday, but Nikulin will likely sign in the KHL.
Nikulin has his own blog. I used a translation site to roughly translate his blog. Here it is (http://www.sports.ru/blog/nikulin/5859168.html):
I shall tell at once if I shall go to Russia I shall act only for TsSKA. When I can join a command yet I do not know. Perhaps, week through two, but I do not exclude, that should pass more time.
One is already clear - I shall not play for "Ottawa". Here much for this time has occured. Us with Ilya Zubovym have sent in фарм-club, thus all over again have told, that are dissatisfied with results of my tests. It was strange enough to hear it, in fact I results in comparison with the last year have improved all. And then, tests are one, and game - is absolutely another. To me have not given chance to play in exhibition matches. Here to Ilya Zubovu of a distance. Have put in the fourth part with тафгаями - go, prove. I do not know, that it is better, can be and my variant when you do not leave at all on an ice. And really in all tests are guilty? But in fact in the past to year I, having parameters am worse today's, have played for the first command. And then in фарм sent players at whom parameters it is better than mine. So not in tests business.
Already then it became known, that the trainer simply does not see me in the command. Does not see also all. It personally explained nothing to me, about it have told to my agent, but the official version such. It already is more similar to the truth, but is not clear, why to me all the same have not given even one chance, and at once have given up as a bad job.
" Long to wait for an exchange it is not ready. A maximum of week two "
In general, I have asked an exchange, and the general manager of "senators" Bryan Merrej too not against. But here not clear red tape has begun. In general, me should exchange last week, by Friday. Then have transferred the transaction on Monday. But also on Monday nothing became clear, I wait. Now the command has gone to the Europe where will open a season. I hope, all will be solved there. I while train with фарм-club. But to wait for an exchange long it is not ready, a maximum of week two. If "Ottawa" will not find variants - I leave for Moscow.
However, much still depends on where me will exchange. If, for example, will send to "Detroit" it is possible to buy at once tickets to Russia, chances will not play in this command at me. It would be desirable to get in not the strongest club to play. By the way, if me and in a new command will send in АХЛ I shall think too. I learn, whether for a long time it. A season in the lowest leagues to lose I do not gather.
Certainly, I hope, that all will be solved ideally for me. I shall not speak, where I wish to get. Something superstitious became recently. In general, I wait, but it is already clear, that in Ottawa I spend last days.
Even though this is a very rough translation, it is clear that this guy is dead weight and no one will touch him with a ten-foot pole.
Bon yoyage, клоун.
