Consensus second round talent. Plays with pace and is a good playmaker. Good pick

Is that before or after 20/21?

these later round picks are always a crapshoot.
seems like a guy that has upside and has slid down a little, which is really all you can ask for in the third round...

First Russian drafted by the Flames since Rafikov in 2013 (oddly, also from Yaroslavl).
Let's hope this one turns out better than that.

Scoring Winger

He plays on the same team as Kirill Slepets, who impressed me at the world juniors. Outscored Slepets too
I like this pick.

Seems like a great pick. Higher ranked than 88 all over the place.

Not even 18 yet so fair chance we could see him on the world juniors stage I’d imagine

Aaron Vickers @AAVickers
Nikolaev said he models his game after Patrice Bergeron. Likes to play defense first, and focus on the offense after.

Honestly everything sounds great
Two year contract shouldn’t be a negative because no players available at this point are expected to be ready in two years anyways

Promising sign that he is here at the draft and says he is willing to come to NA after his contract is up. (At least saying the right thing)
Brendan Parker @BParkerTV
Nikolaev says (through translator) he’s under contract in Russia for the next two seasons. But says he wants to develop his game and would love to come over to North America after that.

Can't say i had ever heard of him, but i like the reviews i'm reading about the kid. Have to think the Russian factor made him slip. I like when i read "fast" in descriptions of player
edit: now i just read that he is not fast. lol Which is it?

Yeah, that's a different guy. Those are tweets from a grown man in 2012, when the new Flame was 11.
