I wouldn't mind Nichushkin at all at #6. I hope he is there.
6'4", great skating, plays all forward positions, plays physical, elite shot...yeah, let's just skip him.
He closest comparable apparently is Malkin. I don't see a problem. Russian or not, this team needs an influx of both skill AND size. This team is too small, and it really needs franchise players more than anything else. Here is a player that adds both dimensions. Sign me up!
