First!
dont care, we want him
Btw I'd like the habs to have some courage with their pick for once … I'm tired of the left field weird picks…
I have this feeling that this will be another Podkolzin bust. If he slipps to 11 im not sure we should take him. I know he is waaaaay more talented than what podkolzin was. But i rather take a more safe players. Even tho thats hard at 11.
Michkov is Overrated and such a risky pick
Michkov ANYTIME
At 5 we need to swing for the fence I have never seen a game breaking talent play for the habs.
For The Athletic 5'9" or 5'10" would be a liability. Who else has that short height? Bedard! 😮
I don't take anything from The Athletic seriously when they comment on the Habs. The Athletic totally underestimate Lane Hutson, that says it all.
I really hope he slips to vancouver but I just don’t see it happening. Reinbacher too. Two different players but I’d love either one of them.
If the guy is dominating his peers, there is nothing to stop him from doing the same in the NHL.
if he fell to 9 I would expect Detroit to take him, they have enough connections in Russia where I don't see getting him to NA being a problem. the wait is the bigger issue.
michkov is awesome these people are the same one's who said caufield and hutson were to small lol
Absolutely should.
The Habs shouldn't select Michkov because he outscored both Wright and Bedard, combined. The Habs shouldn't select Michkov.
Habs will take him at #5 if he is still available. I really doubt Columbus or San Jose would pass on Michkov. If he drops to #5, Habs should take this kind of talent anytime and wait until 2026. Habs won't be that good anyways next 2 years.
I agree they shouldn’t draft michkov if they dont want to win a stanley cup… seems smart enough to me
