I know the Russian factor is there but I really believe that if we don't get one of the consensus 3 that Nichuskin should be taken a hard look at. Kuznetsov is coming over after the Olympics, and has said he only stayed because of the lockout and to better his chances to play for Russia in Sochi. I mean even if he plays in the KHL for 2 more years after he's drafted he'll still be playing against men and filling out his frame. Tarasenko stayed in the K for two more years and until he got injured early in the season he looked like the best Blues forward by far and was basically PPG. And it's not like there's a rush or anything if we're gonna do this right.
