I own a mm210 with the spoolgun and occasionally I need to weld with NI99 could I use a stick cable and electode holder with the gas off and just tie down the trigger on the spoolgun to initiate the power?

You won't get an arc that you can use, I don't think. I tried putting a stick electrode holder once in a CV unit, an old Miller CP-200. The arc wouldn't last more than a second.
This was a long time ago, before I even knew there was a difference between the Constant Voltage of a MIG welder, and the Constant Current of a Stick or TIG welder.

pjseaman,
If you have a local welding shop, inquire about what's available. I know you can find flux cored Ni alloys, but not sure about bare wire Ni alloys. I am not sure Ni 99% is available either way. Let me look around town and I'll get back to you. If you don't hear back in a day or two, then shoot me an email.
