I'm sure Minny are extremely happy to have wait for Kaprizov (even if he wasn't a top 5 pick)

At the end of the day, you're probably getting a franchise player with Michkov so I'm ready to wait the years it will take.
Minn's fans were very nervous this Summer when Kaprisov was stuck in Russia for few days...

It is a new world right now and it could get worse so I would not touch to Michkov in the top 5 no matter how great he is.

Maybe closer to the draft if we decide to trade Josh Anderson, but I don't see us getting a 1st at the TDL with the players we will move
It really depends of the year Dadonov and Monahan are having.....they are the only 2 that could realistically get us a 1st.

Anderson is not going anywhere IMO.....they need veteran presence, you simply can't trade everyone away and let the kids man the ship.
 
For those who think that Michkov should and will be draft second overall.....never...:

Kaprizov....the Wild were scared to loose him..per Bill Guérin

Webare in a different world right now and Michkov will not be drafted un the top 5


It's a fluid situation and the Russians are already playing their last cards. By the time Michkov is available to play in NA this crisis will be over (hoping he can get a special status vs. being sent to war).
 
I would take Michkov #2 even with the insane situation going on. I don't think Fantilli is in the same tier and I would wait for things to clear up regarding his contract and his ''dues to his country''. In the end it might not be as nightmarish a situation as we make it. Usually there are problems with players who are viewed as either enemies of the state or who are against the propaganda machine (à la Panarin). Maybe Michkov is different and has served his military obligations and other ridiculous things that the dictatorship demands.

I can think Carlsson is building a case that he might be much better than Fantilli in the end.
 
Bedard goose egg in season opener. Bust. 10 shots though!

Yager 1 assist, only 10/28 in the faceoff circle.

Those are BUST numbers!

About Carlsson vs Fantilli: Carlsson is way more slick and clever. Fantilli at this point is a collection of awesome physical traits. The good thing about these two is that they're playing at levels that tend to weed out the fakes.
 
Trying to get a look at Engström and I came away impressed with Axel Lindell Pellikka. He jumps off the screen at you, excellent skater, loads of confidence (probably a little bit too much).
