Tik has a Euro clause
Typically the two-way aspect of an NHL contract has to do with the ability of the club to assign the player to the AHL and thus pay the player an AHL rate. In this case, PHX has the option of assigning Tikhonov to a European league and thus likely pay him less. Its a win-win — Tik gets another shot at an NHL job without losing out on a Euro league job if he’s cut from the big club, and PHX doesn’t lose a player to waivers if they need to assign Tik. More on this and other PHX youngsters here:

A nice way to close out the season by Tiki. Wish we would've been there to celebrate - darn friends and their "weddings"...whatever.
Hope to see everyone next season...when we make the playoffs damnit!](http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/42739/default_small.jpg)
