I still am very happy they took Monahan, don't get me wrong here. But Nichushkin is right there IMO.

Yeah, I'd still take Monahan but Nichushkin getting picked wouldn't have been a problem. Having Sven/Gaudreau/Klimchuk on the left and Poirer/Nichushkin/Ferland on the right with one of the available centers this year would have still been a good start to a rebuild.
