Please no. I'd rather have Carlsson than Michkov I don't care what skill and speed he has. We don't need another player especially one that weighs under 150 lbs. I'd take Fantilli over Michkov any day. I'd rather trade down and get Cristall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 1 hour ago, Fanuck said: At the NHL level I often wonder how much of 'being prepared' to show up lies with coaching vs the individual players themselves? Tocchet himself, to his own credit, took some responsibility for the team not being prepared in AZ. The coach doesn't do much for preparation or pumping players up at this level. Every player has a different process to get ready for a game and it's up to each player to get ready to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Cooper a few weeks back said his team knows exactly how to prepare and they have 'expectations' in their organization (which is why he benched his vets one game) whereas I doubt it's the same in a place like Ottawa where their average age is barely 25yo.

I completely understand your reservations, but I've heard more than one analyst say Michkov's skill-set is easily as good as Bedard's....if he were available at wherever we are selecting, it would be difficult to pass up a potential generational talent like that. It could be a game-changer for this organization. But its not without risk that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about playing like Fleury, but he's outscored all other Russian players; including Ovi, by quite a large margin (during draft year). Kids quite the phenomenon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids quite the phenomenon. That's good. Also he won't have to "go to war" like Theo described the league when he first joined. So if we draft him that's ok - im just hoping that size doesn't matter in his case. Theo was a warrior, in much tougher/rougher era. It's hard to find many guys who weigh 150lbs who survived this league. Or 160 for that matter. Get things are reverting back to the 70-80's as far as forwards and D's go. Maybe he can make it. Would he fine if we passed though. Podz was also supposed to be drafted in the top 3. Edited March 18 by IBatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that younger teams need more guidance, but not by much. These kids are taught how to be professionals from the time they're 16, and that includes the mental part of the game too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyfan-observer Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Should be a pretty competitive match tonight - think both teams will put their best foot forward - Canucks obviously need the points to keep their very slim mathematical odds alive (and hope the teams in front of them keep losing). KIngs are one point back of Vegas and I think probably want to see how they stack up against a team on a roll like the Canucks. Predict Kings will win in OT 4-3. With the nice weather outside today, kind of feels like we are with them in California watching the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
