Yeh ..who needs Nichushkin when you have Smyth as the top line LW.
I think with Fedun\Marincin\Hunt\Klefbom\Gernat etc in the organization picking this highly skilled winger that has the body of Joensuu would have been better than Nurse.
Nurse looked great but wont be a factor for another 2 yrs.
Smyth is only there because of injury. Basically, Perron wouldn't be here if Nichushkin was and in the short term, i would much rather have Perron or for that matter, i would much much rather have Perron+Nurse long term than just Nichushkin.
Also, Nurse is already a factor (albeit against preseason rosters). I think he'll be quite the factor in 2 years if he keeps on his current trajectory.
