Thread: Does ANA take Michkov
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>The only reason that it "isn't relevant" is because of the geopolitical situation. If you actually read the description of this ACGM, I was POSING THE QUESTION, "Does a possible civil war in Russia effect his decision making process to stay in the KHL, and, if so, does that put him back in the conversation for 2nd overall pick?" It is a completely valid question and argument considering his talent level and how he is regarded by scouts. You are literally being difficult for no reason. And before you say it, I am aware that the situation in Russia has de-escalated already. At the time of this post it had not been resolved, though. So, either join the conversation or go bug someone else with your half baked condescending attitude.</div></div>

What I'm saying is that Anaheim wouldn't take him 2nd overall even if he would sign out of the draft. That was my point. That is all.

Thread: Does ANA take Michkov
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Ok, guy. If you had actually been paying attention for the last 2 or 3 years, then I shouldn't have to convince you. You could literally just go look at any article or video about the 2023 draft class and, 9 times out of 10, if pundits or scouts are talking about Michkov, Bedard, and/or making comparisons, they will mention how he'd be a lock for 2nd overall if it weren't for his KHL contract or the geopolitical situation, and has the offensive upside to challenge for 1st overall pick.

Either you are really this clueless or you are just arguing because you get off on it or think its funny, because none of this is news and there is no reason I should have to convince you, if you've actually been paying attention to the dialogue around this draft class.</div></div>

I have been paying attention past 2 to 3 years. And I seem to be the only one that knows that that's not very relevant now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Sure. Honestly, though, who cares what central scouting says, they are just a single source, and not even the best or most interesting source either. Also, I should've been more specific, I meant offensive upside. There are many public scouts and pundits who consider him to have higher offensive upside than Bedard. I'm not just pulling this out of my arse, or something. I am telling you what I know to be true. But, upside is just a way of measuring a players potential if their development goes right. It doesn't mean a player is better "right now" and isn't a guarantee they will be in the future either. Also, Central scouting doesn't "only take into account their level of play", they consider position and all around game as well. 9 times out of 10 teams are going to take a big 2-way center. It's just the way things go, and I doubt Michkov will ever be a 2-way player.</div></div>

Which scouts are saying Michkov has more offensive upside?

Those things are incorporated into level of play.
