It’s weird that they just don’t stop. Nobody from Philly even thinks about Montreal and whoever they drafted last year. Good luck to them though.
Michkov's father was murdered when he was trying to get his son's release from the KHL. In order to further develop his hockey career, he, along with his parents and brother, moved to Yaroslavl to join the youth program of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in 2015. In April 2023, Michkov's father, Andrei, was reported missing; he was found dead two days later near Sochi. That's a reason not to draft him.
Michkov is almost a foot taller than Caufeild. You can’t compare them at all one will grow into a man’s body and the other will always just be a guy with child’s body. Caufeild will always be hurt and will have a very short career because he’s already shown he doesn’t have the skating ability or toughness to use his shot in 5 on 5. He’s a OT and pp specialist and that’s it.
Canadiens fans are now acting like they only care that Michkov is seen as a better prospect than Demidov…after talking down Michkov for an entire year after the 2023 draft.
As much as this hurt to say it, but can we all agree Cole as much as he’s good! Mechcavi has a higher ceiling Cole can and would get 40 maybe 50 goal season but mechcavi will get them much easier!
The whole not taking him" because he's got 3 years left on his deal in the KHL" is a load of crap. There have been precedents set before where NHL teams were able to get Russian prospects out from under their contracts and moved over to the NHL with term still left on it. Kuznetsov is a big example. I'm pretty sure he still had 2 years left on his deal when he first came over. Management didn't like the guy, and the fans did, plain and simple. Boneheaded move though, cause you could've have Michkov AND Deimedov (sorry I butchered that)
