How he speaks, or the way he speaks turns you off? sorry it's not his first ####ing language, I know first hand experience because I had trouble adjusting to Canada when I immigrated here.

If given a chance to draft a player like Nichuskin if he falls to our spot, you ####ing take it, he has great talent, has the size and skill set this team is lacking, and plays in a position we need players in. His character should be judged, not his ####ing nationality whether x player wants to leave the best league in the world to play in a different league for more money. Players like Malkin, Ovi, Datsyuk are still aren't they?

Nichuskin's size speed and skill will mean jack to us if he signs in the KHL, best not to use our #6 pick gambling on Nichuskin. However, if he falls to 22 the you ####ing take it
