I think him not coming over to NHL is really overblown.

For every Radulov, there is Ovechkin, Malkin, Tarasenko.
I could be wrong but i don't think any of the 3 in bold had a 2 year contract with a KHL team when drafted. If Nichushkin plays well in those 2 years, you can bet your left nut that the KHL will offer him big bucks to re-sign before his contract is up.
