I’ll be so disappointed if Michkov drops to us and we pass on him. I get that it’s a risk to draft him, but how often do you have a chance at true elite talent like that? Just once in my life I would like us to be a team with a guy who could challenge for the league scoring title. Or even just break a point per game for fucks sake.

I know what Pronman means I guess, but Michkov is already pro

That’s Pronman, he’s the clickbait king. Bedard and Michkov are absolutely 1A-1B in terms of talent, but he’s putting Michkov ahead to keep people reading.

I get the criticism of Pronman, he has been more critical of Michkov than most but he has also been consistent about how he talks about his ceiling.

Sharks would be dumb to not pick him.

“If he hits, which isn’t a sure thing”.
This guy scares me. If he busts we just set our franchise back several years. Kind of sounds like a prime Alex Semin?
No one has actually seen this kid play live right? Every scout is just going by the tape.
