Yeah, that sounds about right. Oops, I forgot Nichuskin. He does sound pretty well set on making the move right away, which could intrigue the likes of Nashville and Carolina. (or so one can hope). I wouldn't consider him a strong candidate for a Flames pick, not because of the Russian factor but because he's a winger.
But yeah I wouldn't rule out one of the 3 making a strong enough case in their camp/early season audition to warrant staying the year, but it is unlikely.
Imo the one guy that is 1. a realistic pick and 2. is mentally and physically matured enough to translate to the NHL right away is Monahan.
