He's not as impressive as an 18 year old Lindros who, without a game of NHL experience, made Team Canada's World Cup roster and did not look out of place. If Nichushkin is as good as made out to be, he should be on Russia's Olympic roster.

Seriously? If he was thought to be anywhere near that good right now, he'd be the consensus #1 overall. It still happens with Russians, believe it or not.
EDIT: I realize this post isn't particularly coherent or well-thought out, and it could have been brought up at an earlier point, but why Nichushkin is being compared to Eric Lindros is confusing at best.
