I don't know how some of you are so convinced that Nichushkin could be a top 5-10 player in the NHL. To me that is extremely unlikely. Not many wingers are top 5-10 players in the league and expecting him to be one of the best wingers in NHL is more than a bit optimistic IMO.
He's got a chance to be a Rick Nash type player IMO. Not sure that is more valuable than a 1st line centre.
