... yes depends on who you ask. If you ask Pronman his ceiling is higher than Bedard's.

I truly believe Michkov would be a consensus top 3 pick if it wasn't for the situation in Russia, and that's OK with me just be thankful he should be there at 5th overall.

I don't think any decisions can be made until the habs talk to this kid anyways though, which they should have an opportunity to do so in person when he comes to the draft.

Thread: Another idea on trading 5OA
I'd rather draft Michkov (or Smith) but this is an interesting idea no doubt, I think adding Barron in is an overpay though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>titchy_jelly</b></div><div>I don't know what your on but thats obsurd the Habs have had players in the past 20 years that are far better than Michkov</div></div>

Michkov projects to be a 100 point player... the habs have not had any in 20+ years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>But... I am reading and listening to reports from scouts and journalists. I should discard that because of your opinion?</div></div>

? Almost all scouts and rankings have him in the top 3 of this draft, and it is also consensus that the top 3 in this draft are all typical #1's in most draft years. So are you really listening?

Panarin and Kaprizov had no outside development from the NHL, they are stars... and is ironic to say you should discard what scouts / journalists say because of someone else's opinion when you are also giving your own opinion (and using it to contradict scouts rankings)... everyone is allowed to have an opinion.
