Bingo card :))))))
I have a feeling there’s a bunch more teams he didn’t want to play for and let it be known too.
Political
I don't know why any team would draft him when they say I don't want to play for a certain team. Getting drafted in the NHL to any team is a privilege. You don't hear Bedard saying I don't want to go to a crap team that I grew up hating, now do you? LOL.
Remember you don’t know shit about the sabres, don’t suggest shit without ur due diligence .😂😂😂😂kane will not be a Sabre
He wants to be michkov 1.0 not ovi 2.0.
If he didnt live up to expectations of being ovi 2.0 he would of turned into yakupov 2.0
It’s cause he’s a Russian spy and being in Washington would be to obvious
He didnt wanna play for a team with a red jersey and stars on it 😬
Honestly I was shocked michkov went at 7th, that’s “geopolitics” at work. Obviously hes not ready to be in NHL yet but barring serious injury this kid is going to develop quite well. Especially since the work ethic of Russian players is generally top notch.
Torts will kill his career
They didn’t close the facility for Michkov. It was just a coincidence.
As a pens fan I seriously couldn’t be more pumped that the flyers got michkov
As a Flyers fan I thought we would take Leonard or Dvorsky thinking that Michkov would already be drafted before Philly made their pick and quite honestly I'm really happy it all worked out the way it did and that we got him.
can someone explain why a Ovi and Michkov line sounds like a match made in heaven? They literally dont have any connection besides the fact that they come from the same country. It makes no sense, everyone just saw that there was a chance for a russian kid to play with ovi and then started hyping that pairing up. They dont play similar at all, they have no relation to each other or friendship, and clearly Michkov doesnt have any of his own reasons to play with Ovi
If you were American playing in the KHL, would you want to play for Moscow??
I knew Philly was taking michkov it was just more along the lines were Montreal or Phoenix going to take him or if they weren't were they going to trade their pick to somebody who was.
As others on here have said if he went to Washington he would have been ovi Jr for the rest of his career. Why Philly? We've never had a rocket winner or a 500 goal scorer in our franchise. Honestly outside of Tim kerrs 4 straight 50 goal or John LeClair 3 straight 50 goal seasons had a consistent sniper. He could potentially be the greatest goal scorer in flyers history. He is already in my opinion the most hyped flyers draft pick ever.
This is interesting… I don't get why agents feel the need to make these kinds of comments public… Especially since it's all irrelevant now. It worked out in their favor, so shut the hell up, and don't burn bridges this early in the kids career "for various reasons" – a smart agent would be talking to him about this behind the scenes, but can anybody explain why this would be a good thing to put out into the world?!? The only thing I can think, is the agent just wants his name in the paper… Idk…
He also got into a fight with Capitals player Miroshnichenko. Could be something simple as that.
Oh stop. Ovi doesnt give a shit and we all know it. Youre trying way too hard
Sharks shouldve taken him but their too woke. Which is why they suck
i was shcoked as well
The comments the caps scouts made prior to the draft might have played a part. Probably mad they were trying to drop his draft stock.
