Michkov’s statistical profile is historical. It’s easy to understand why he’s been heaped with praise. 3 in advance of any draft and the best Russian prospect since Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin back in 2004.” Colleague Scott Wheeler has described Michkov as “without question or hesitation, the best prospect I’ve ever ranked at No.
Any club outside of the top three that passes on him needs to be very careful because the decision could bite them long term. Michkov is going to test the patience and risk tolerance of many teams at the top. Some teams might wonder: Why take a big gamble on Michkov when there are other enormously talented prospects available? Then there’s the fact that the teams picking in the top five this year have no shortage of elite prospects to choose from because of the strength of this draft class. Some teams have also been hesitant about drafting Russians in general because of the geopolitical situation pertaining to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
