Monahan is underrated IMO. In a normal draft he could be a top 2-3 talent. He played on a terrible team this year along with a 10 game suspension.
No doubt in my mind hes a top 3 talent in a normal draft year. We'd be lucky to have him

I'm not sold on Nichushkin. The talent is there, the size is there but the risk seems to be huge. The guy has a comfy KHL exit plan mapped out before even being drafted by a NHL team.
The Flames need to hit a homerun very badly with this draft pick but perhaps more importantly
we need to avoid a bust.
- Lindholm sounds like the kind of guy that could develop into either a franchise center or a second line player.
- Nichushkin could either be a franchise RW or he will be playing in the KHL if things don't go his way.
Between the two scenarios, I'll go with Lindholm.
