"Barkov is a creative with a very solid overall package and the skill set to compensate for his below-average skating, making him one of the top prospects for the 2013 NHL Draft."
Barkov (below average skating) and only 8 minutes in penalties. Nichushkin low scoring (shot accuracy could be improved) and no penalties)
I believe that few penalties are an indication of intensity. I'd skip both these players and pick Nurse. His point total is close to Barkov. He's the #2 rated defenceman in the draft. If we can't get one of the top three then let's get a 1st pairing defenceman.
