He has never once shown he was worth his draft standing. We need high end talent now. We are past the point of even looking at the leagues rejects. We have lots of guys better than him. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Maybe he will end up with the aves as they load up. His size would be nice in their bottom 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWMc1 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hopefully this lights a fire under Goldobin's butt. He needs to get that attention to the system and hard work are required to augment the skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And BoHo was initially called an average or below average NHL skater. Sometimes we never know until we know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes we never know until we know? This is why I’m never too keen on picking Russian so high in the draft, and wasn’t a huge fan of the Podkolzin pick. But hey, if you’re going to pick at 10, known to be a cursed pick; you might as well swing for the fences.

Even his KHL stats are pedestrian. Initial reaction is to take a flyer but there must be something going on. I totally agree my first instinct was to say sign him for a year at the league minimum and give him a shot but man that was an epically bad year.

They have to be kicking themselves for drafting Ovechkin and Malkin ahead of those good old Canadian boys Cam Barker and Andrew Ladd! 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nationality has nothing to do with it. Some of the greatest talents in the game are Russians. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I am no longer afraid of admitting I was so wrong when I criticized the pick for Horvat over Nichuskin. That's why I'm not a professional scout lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspie Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 The only part of Nichushkin’s game I remember is the part where he got run over by Virtanen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team with interest would want their medical staff to fully investigate, to be sure. I know he's had hip problems/surgery a few years ago too. Not too certain which would be hindering his progress more at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaku Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 So much hype around Nichuskin. So much disappointment. All I can think about is how many people on here were uber pissed off the Canucks took Bo over Nuke. Imagine a Canucks team without Bo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
