    Default #6 overall: Monahan or Nichushkin?

    12-team full keeper. G=1, A=0.5. Who do you like better? Nichushkin or Monahan?

    Nichushkin. He's the more talented player. I didn't even consider Monahan when I picked 5th in my draft.

    Yea, I'd choose Nichu. More talented (IMO) and has more surrounding skill.

    The G vs A thing is scary but I feel Calgary may build around the most underated player in the draft. I'd take Monahan in this one, but not by much. Just too much need in cow town,

    Monahan, #1 centre for a long time, much safer, and will have good linemates himself. I don't trust Nichuskin at all.

    Monahan is getting verry very very underrated.

    I'll go Nichuskin as well. Many of the risk factors are mitigated by his NA commitment and surrounding cast in Dallas -- lots of talented potential line mates (Benn, Seguin, etc.) and Sergei Gonchar to assist his transition to the US.

    If they play Seguin, Nich and Benn together. That is one hell of a sexy line!
