The only reason why Nichushkin is not projected no.1 this year is IMHO the russian factor.
notable timestamps:
1:22 - fantastic setup
2:28 - one man show
3:12 - huge hit in KHL from 17-year old
3:22 - nothing special at the first glance but this is totally Jagr-like puck control and shot
It's hard to tell whether he played LW in all those games as I see him flying around everywhere.
If we could somehow get both Monahan and Nichushkin - that would be a combo you can built your team around. Big canadian two-way centre with leadership abilities + big flying superskilled russian => that is exactly what every GM wants in the 1st line.
