GDT: 2023 NHL Entry Draft Rounds 2-7 - 10AM ET, ESPN, ESPN+, SN

[Prairie Habs]

Feels like when Cherepanov fell in 2007. Russian factor is real, especially in todays world.

The 'yotes just took a major reach on a Russian though. I think it's more the 3 year contract factor.

 

[Woodrow]

I call Shenanagins on this draft.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Looks like the Hawks are going to be a dynasty again with Bedard.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Might as well take Simahev cause Michkov would never go a sad sack franchise like the Coyotes

Even if that's true - why wouldn't you get a spare pick from the Caps by trading down?

 

[jackjohnson]

Frk Canucks, they would have had Michkov instead of trying to win games at the end...FRK

 

[Felidae]

Feels like when Cherepanov fell in 2007. Russian factor is real, especially in todays world.

the "Russian factor" in regards to Michkov doesn't make much sense though Considering Simashev is also russian

 

[The GM]

Zona should focus more on studying the prospects and less on fitting appointments for their goofy matching suits

 

[Bandit]

That’s a slap in the face of Michkov

Wow

Nah. I’m sure he’s thrilled.

 

[Superlative Soup]

Habs fans real quiet about big bad bossman Kent Hughes

 

[William H Bonney]

Would Michkov even report to Arizona?

 

[ViD]

Did they honestly just draft the wrong Russian by accident?

David…I mean Matvei…ah shit, just give us a Russian

 

[snipes]

Leonard or Michkov here for the Flyers

 

[spfan]

With Leonard and Dvorsky still, I wonder if Michkov does drop even lower than what most expected(lower than top 8)

 

[Chips]

Flyers gonna waste michkov

 

[TheBeard]

Why does HF never learn or fix anything knowing how overloaded the board was gonna get for this.

Sounds cheap.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Muscles in his face ?

 

[Bounces R Way]

I'm not a scout but I play one on the internet, I didn't think any dman in this draft was a worthwhile top 10 pick

 

[SI90]

Tortorella not there?

 

[WarriorofTime]

Michkov not being the first Russian off the board was definitely a surprise.

 

[William H Bonney]

Let's hope Briere left his son at home

 

[ViD]

Nah. I’m sure he’s thrilled.

I don’t think so, the guy is very competitive and not even being the first Russian to get picked must hurt his competitive ego

 

[JPeeper]

lmao, I forgot this dunce was hired by Philly.

 

[Sheppy]

Drink every time David Poile gets congratulated.

 

[CamPopplestone]

I'm not gonna talk too much shit about Simashev after Seider a few years ago, at least not until I see how it shakes out in 5 years

 

[snipes]

Michkov to the Flyers
