I want they take Mitchkov! Because he won't be available for a couple of years, the habs won't have the chance to wreck his development, like they do to every quality rookie that joins the team.
He has a 5 years contrat with the KHL, 3 years left. So he can't come to the NHL before the 26-27 season. Personnally, I would not draft any russians right now unless it's a 6th or 7th round pick. Too many unknowns with those players.
Maybe they are just saying that hoping other teams ahead of them will pass. It's like poker, you don't show your hand. If Habs drafted Michkov at 5th, 6th or 7th, AMAZING……
You basically read my mind, indeed after watching the U-18 world tournament, it seems that Dvorsky could land in Montreal since he has really shown that he is a complete two way centerman with offensive upside; and he is still 17 years old. However, if Montreal drafts for "needs", they will go for David Reinbacher who is the highest rated right handed defenseman. This draft is a very bad one for defensemen so this is why Reinbacher's stock keep getting better since he is the best one available; however, in a normal draft, this guy would be a mid first round pick at best. If Montreal goes for the best player available like they should, they would certainly draft a forward like Dvorsky or Leonard, but if they go for needs, then it will be Reinbacher for sure which will be a blunder with a 5th overall pick in a very good draft for forwards. It does remind me of 2018 when Montreal went for needs and drafted KK at 3rd; but the BPA was Brady Tkachuk at 4th…we will see!!!
what if mitchkov never come to america? then you wasted a top 10 pick. in a rebuild you cannot risk wasting such a great asset. outside the top 10 i would consider it.
Is year habs can’t miss ! If they draft Matvei and he never come to the nhl he will be considered a bust! Habs can’t have that, Reinbacher is 100% going to be a top pair defender
My problem with what he says is … DO YOU REALLY THINK ANY TEAM WILL MAKE THEIR PICK KNOWN??? YEAH FUCK NO… THAT SHIT IS SECRET AF… like as classified as actual military classified document.
don't know what the Vegas odds are, but I would say there is a 50/50 chance of him being a lottery pick. Lousy teams don't have the luxury of taking geopolitical risk.
If they would just leave politics out of hockey and stopped forcing players to do political stuff. Then he would be much less of a risk. In my opinion the league is killing his career

Good, I dont want him either, I want Will Smith.
Live stream starting when?
Tinordi is still playing.
Watch The MTL drafting Michkov 5th. it's gonna be hilarious

Zachary Benson could be a possibility too

EMELIN, we drafted him, he came over much later. good mid pick
The guy who said this knows nothing

Michkov = high risks, high rewards!
I say let someone else take the risk

Dalibor dvorsky is horrible. Will smith is 10x better.
From what I saw he didn't say he's hearing we wont take Michkov.
He just said that he doesn't think we will, just as his own guess.

You just can't just overlook Michkov, if the Habs really think that, they're idiots sorry.

I don't think Michkov will ever play on the NHL, unless they find a way to help him defect. Like they did with Peter Svoboda
Dvorsky seemed always come out with the puck in any battles. That's a good quality to have.
If they get 3rd they should trade the pick
I love michkov 😭😭😭 why cant we take him
Stop with this reinbacher non sense were drafting a forward with our 1st pick even if we drop in the draft
What picks can the canadiens get
If they would just leave politics out of hockey and stopped forcing players to do political stuff. Then he would be much less of a risk. In my opinion the league is killing his career
