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.

That's my point. I was saying if he's as much of a "man", "beast", "elite", the next Malkin, as some have suggested in this thread, then he should be able to compete at the Olympic level for the Russian team just like Lindros did before he even played an NHL game.
