ISS has Nichushkin ahead of MacKinnon, Drouin, and Barkov... Maybe the Flames package both their firsts to Buffalo so they can walk away with Monahan/Lindholm and Nichuskin...

I think Buffalo would just gladly draft Nichushkin. I'm sure they were thrilled to draft Grigorenko after him falling last year, think they do the same with Nichushkin in that scenario.
Nichushkin at 6'4'' being centered by his countryman Grigorenko at 6'3'' could become a pretty intimidating line if they continue to develop.
I would temper expectations if you plan on being able to move into the top 10 with the 2 other picks.
