It wouldn't surprise me if the "four franchise players" Feaster spoke of included Nichushkin and not Barkov. I have been doing a ton of reading on the first round prospects and I'm getting the impression he is a better player when it comes to physical tools. With the new contract he signed he's got a major red flag though, I can't say I'd be thrilled to see him picked but when you compare him to Lindholm who will be staying in Sweden for another year I guess it's only 12 more months.
