If they draft Nichushkin that pretty much means PRV is available right?

I agree that looks like it could be a great LW combo for years to come, but when we're as weak as we are at center and D it doesn't make sense to keep on stockpiling the wings. Unless we wan't to just propose a rule that face offs don't exist and no back checking allowed. Who know's that might actually be entertaining.
Edit- Not that I'm against drafting Nichushkin if he's there. I like PRV a lot, but if a much higher upside LW is what we draft then he does become expandable to use on a D or center upgrade.
If he becomes expandable, I say we keep him. Turn him into a 9 foot nightmare for defences to deal with
If we draft Nichuskin, it does make PRV more expendable. The biggest worry I have with trading PRV is that our depth on the left side currently stinks.
Hall - Smyth - ...
Smyth should not play on the second line anymore, and even with Nichuskin, who we'd likely start in the big leagues, it's not that great.
Really starting to get excited about Nicushkin. Turned down khl money to be in nhl next year. Even if he plays on 3rd or 4th line for next coupla years can bring size skill exuberance. But fine with nurse and monahan too. As long as we keep the pick and dont go of the board im good.
