I see Nichushkin having a big year, maybe 25g 65-70pts... He is a beast and I still can't believe he fell to what, 9 in the draft that year? He looked scary good last year being his rookie season and all

If he wasn't Russian, he'd have been taken much earlier due to real concerns that he might not play in N.A. or, if he didn't like it here, he'd go to Russia.
Will be interesting to see who he plays with and then there's always the dreaded "sophomore slump". But I think he's done well so far & there really won't be anything but progress from here on in. I'm expecting that he'll play with the first line, so the question is, who joins Spezza & Hemsky on line 2?
