I'm just wondering how many people that want to avoid Nichushkin won't hold it against Feaster if the player he picks instead is a marginal player and Nichushkin thrives.

Personally, I think that an organization that lets fear govern it is destined for mediocrity. At least when we peak out at 8th, we can tell ourselves that we played it safe.
It would be much easier to live with than if he turned into the next Filatov and Monahan turned into the next Toews.

As someone who hates Feaster and expects him to f up at every turn I wouldn't hold it against him at all on passing up a risky guy like Nichuskin and going with the safer and equally talented Monahan/Lindholm.

If we were talking 22 and Nichuskin was clearly the best guy then I may be pissed but considering he isn't clearly better than others at the same spot (and may be less talented than Monahan) no reason to get angry if he is skipped with all of his question marks.
