Nurse, Ristolainen, and Zadorov all seem like really good players. I wouldn't be at all surprised if 2 of them get selected in the top 8. But I would probably opt for one of those guys before choosing someone like Shinkaruk or Domi, if Lindholm and Monahan are gone.

Does anyone know what happened to Erat? If he's out for the rest of the playoffs, that'll suck big time for the Caps.

Does anyone know the details of what it would take to get Radulov here? Is he still under some kind of contract with Nashville? The guy is often seen as the best KHL player, and would bring a ton of offense. I just worry about whether his game would translate well in North America. He was a bit disappointing last year for Nashville in the playoffs.

You think Nichushkin will definitely be gone by 9 or you just don't like him?

Realistically, what do you guys think the chances of one (or both?) of Lindholm and Nichushkin dropping to 9? Monahan and Shinkaruk would both be good picks (Monahan more than Shinkaruk, in my opinion), but Lindholm and Nichushkin seem to have superstar potential that I can't see Monahan or Shinkaruk having as easily.
