Then again I think that's coming from his agent. But the 'far better than barkov' line intrigues me.

The ''he's not always at his best'' line intrigues me, then worries me. I just don't feel he is worth the gamble for this organization. Maybe if we were a team trending up with assets to spare we could. But we are pretty much starting from scratch. Imagine the uproar if the Flames drafted him and he left, or pouted his way out the door and back to Russia.
Jesus God no, we just cannot afford that risk, whether he is the best player or not. It would be beyond devastating to the Flames if we selected him and he bolted. Knowing our luck, I guarantee that it would happen, because the hockey god are always against us. Count me in the boat of being disappointed if Nushuksin is selected.
