So what if in the last games this season without OEL and Myers the defence plays a lot better?

Trade July 1 for Myers?

Buyout (ewwwwwww) for OEL?

Retain $990k (wtf Arizona, why not just make it $1m?) and add Garland as a sweetener?

On the question of whether or not to draft Michkov you have to look at the specifics.

 

Nux will likely finish 8 to 10th from the bottom.

 

Therefore they can draft 1st or 2nd or 8th 9th 10th 11th or 12th.

 

3rd to 7th isn't possible in this scenario.

 

So being specific.  Of course if you are drafting 1st you take Bedard not Michkov.

 

If you draft 2nd you likely take Fantilli not Michkov.

 

But if you draft 8th to 12th ya maybe you take a chance on him if he is available.

 

If Michkov is available at 6th overall and we're drafting 8th overall, I'm looking for ways to move up at almost any cost.  

 

Bedard is 1A 

Michkov is 1B

No. Michkov is a wild card. Let someone else take the gamble. There's lots of good players in the first round.

We don't need a Gaudreau.

He's not a wild card at all.  

 

Michkov has matched Bedard every step of the way. He's done it as a 16 year old and a 17 year old. 

 

Out produced both Malkin and Ovechkin in his draft year. Here's a quote from a recent NHL.com article... 

 

Matvei Michkov, No. 2 on NHL Central Scouting's midterm ranking presented by BioSteel of International skaters, has a message for any NHL general manager hesitant to select him at the top of the 2023 NHL Draft.

 

"It is my dream to play in the NHL one day," Michkov told NHL.com through an interpreter. "But for now I will continue to work on my game and develop as a player at home."

 

Home at this moment is Russia, where the 18-year-old right wing (5-foot-10, 172 pounds) had 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists) in 30 games in the Kontinental Hockey League this season.
