So top 3 as expected, just slightly in a different order. It's still on the sharks to determine the path for the rest of the draft.

 

The longer Michkov falls, the more aggressive some teams will be trying to move up (i.e. Washington).

Pat Verbeek as GM of the Ducks.
When I stared following the NHL back in the 90's, I remember him being a PITA type player.
 

 

His nickname was The Little Ball of Hate. Yes, he was a pain.    lol

Are the Canadiens going to pass on Michkov? I mean they have Caufield...do they really wanna run with two tiny wingers?

 

from what I read ... no ...I believe the pick will be Leonard or Reinbacher

5. Montreal = Leonard (I believe it comes down to Leonard or Reinbacher .... if MTL goes Reinbacher then Yotes go Leonard)

 

Yotes go Leonard ....... they are not picking the Russian

Really big defenseman.
6'4 and 220 already.

But...will he be more Rob Blake....or David Savard for Montreal? Hmm...

 

Not quite Chara size but that is one big dude and then add skates .... ouch!

If teams get scared off Michkov due to the 'political reasons' or something else non talent related, AND, he is somehow, someway there at pick 37, I bet the Lightning take him and I'd LOVE that!
TB loves their Russian players and aren't afraid of controversial picks (see Tony DeAngelo).

But, that may be a pipe dream. 
Someone has to see past the politics and realize Michkov is well worth the risk, no?
