notable timestamps:

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.

I'm still much more impressed by MacKinnon and Jones.
As for that goal on Subban, how can you not blame Murphy on that one? Horrible attempt at defending, he just lets Nichucskin walk around him. Murphy was bad in that tourney, terrible homer choice by Spott.
