This is only a nontropical (or at worst subtropical) system partially associated with the remnant low of Nicholas. So, it appears to have attained some energy from Nicholas, but that's all. Also, if it were to be named, it would not get the name Nicholas.
The bottom line imo is that there is absolutely no evidence that Nicholas would have made it all the way had it not weakened to a remnant low. Keep in mind that the fact of it having weakened so much could have easily been the main reason the lower level winds took the remnant low more westerly toward the U.S. since a weaker system has a lower mean steering level. So, had Nicholas not weakened to a remnant low, it could still easily have recurved like those folks in that thread had expected.

And now we have this unseasonable ridge in control. Not saying that this is actually Nicholas moving across the Atlantic Ocean, and that those who said that it would not traverse the ocean were completely wrong, but rather I stress the peculiarity of the entire situation from Point A to Point B.
