- 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.

Why is this exactly? Because a bust would take us longer to rebuild?
Fine by me, every post you make I get the impression that the rebuild is on a stop watch.
If it takes 5+ years then so be it, the end product is all that matters.
Potential Franchise RW > Potential 2nd line Center
