Description

Obviously this never happens, but just wanted to have some fun.

This is your insurance package to get Kaprizov to re-sign, since he's UFA the same year Michkov can finally come over.

Nearly ppg as a double under ager on one of the worst teams in the KHL and teams are really gonna talk themselves out of him, aren't they?

Quoting: RazWild

IF we're discussing hypothetically moving up to target a specific player in this years draft.

I want Brayden Yager.

There's enough talk of him probably dropping and going in the teens at this point that I think there’s a decent chance to be able to move up and take him. The better part of this for us is that the cost of moving up to get him is significantly less than it would cost for us to get Michkov. I think he has every chance to be as good as Logan Cooley too.

That's fair and I don't hate that idea. I like Yager's upside too. I just think the chasm of talent between Yager and Michkov is so significant that I'd rather pay the premium, even if it's a horde of value like I have here. To each their own though, I think on the whole, more Wild fans would agree with you vs. me on this one.
