But Nikolayev seems decent. Hopefully he works out.

As Darren Haynes has pointed out, he was the last guy in McKenzie's top 50 available.

June 26 birthday, one of the younger players in the draft.

Had 8 points (5 goals) in 6 playoff games.
I wonder if he improved throughout the year.

I like the pick. Weird seeing a Russian before round 7.
