No way. I dont take Nichushkin over Horvat. He has mad outside speed and size but Horvat has a higher hockey IQ , better hands and much better defensive game.
He is ripe for an offer sheet. Tanev has top 4 ceiling potential and to swipe him for 2 mil is easy pickings for another team. If I am the Islanders I offer him 2 years 2.5 million.
