CBJ will meet with top Russian prospect Matvei Michkov in Nashville ahead of the NHL Draft.
Told #CBJ will meet with top Russian prospect Matvei Michkov in Nashville ahead of the NHL Draft.
See zero chance GM Jarmo Kekalainen drafts Michkov with No. 3 overall pick, but front office staffs want to get to know a prospect they’ve seen almost exclusively on film.— Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) June 24, 2023

As we should. It’s our due diligence and all, but honestly with everything happening in Russia right now there might see some shake ups in where Michkov falls
He’s the best non Bedard player in the draft. You’d be insane to not look at him. I still think anyone who passes on him is making a mistake since nobody that has a realistic shot at him js making a run anytime in the immediate future
I don’t know how to feel about this. That whole situation over there frightens me. That poor kid. Wonder how the recent loss of his father is affecting him.
If we were picking 4th and missed out on Fantilli and Carlsson I’d be up for the pick but we need a center badly.
I wonder with all the drama if he falls to the Caps if he just stays in the US instead of going back
