I don't understand why people are worried about the Flames taking Nichushkin? He's not remotely close to the type of player profile Weisbrod depicts the Flames are looking for. I just don't feel they would even taken him at 22. I'm not really even worried and feel if the pick isn't Lindholm/Monahan at 6 at worst they may take Nurse which isn't the end of the world although not exactly a great maneuver considering the lack of organizational depth at center.
