We won't be getting both MacKinnon and Monahan barring trading for an additional pick in the Top 10, maybe even Top 5.
I'm very hesitant to waste a pick on Nichushkin, regardless of his skill level. I don't care what he says in the interviews about how much he wants to play in the NHL, he has two years left in the KHL followed by several million reasons why he'll likely stay there since we're limited in what we can offer him on an ELC. Even if he does take a several million dollar paycut to join the NHL, he can easily bolt like any other Russian if he doesn't like his playing time, contract, the travel, the facilities, or whatever other reason to hold the team over a barrel.
With all due respect to Craig Button, where he's from makes a huge difference in this case.
