Description

With Sheng Peng (Sharks Insider) saying that San Jose is likely picking Will Smith 4th overall this year, it seems like the habs will have a chance to draft Michkov. Kent Hughes has mentioned how they will take "the best player available", but I am worried they will pass on him due to the Russian factor which would be a mistake IMO.

Our roster is missing a game-breaking force up front, and Michkov is our best chance at having that. Sure he wont be ready for 3 years, but we arent expected to be true competitors until then. Also, if he were to come over for the 26/27 season, he would be a top player on his ELC from 21-24, giving us a great opportunity to lock him up for 8 years afterward to cover his entire prime (would be 32 when his contract expires). I think also drafting Daniil But later in the first round (if he's available) could give us an underrated prospect with great potential while serving as a Mesar to Slafkovsky.

If we don't draft Michkov, I would prefer to trade down and get a Ryan Leonard or Zack Benson, but Michkov would still be my preferred option.

Just please don't draft Dvorsky 5th overall Kent
