Imagine, somehow Fantilli is there at 5 as well as Smith (because someone went off script and picked Leonard or Reinbacher or Benson).
They’ll talk for hours about les petits gars de chez nous.
Once you have Newhook in tow you don’t look for more. Besides if a prospect falls to 5 he must be red flag city — or so we’re told.
Even though no bookie has Michkov as a clear favourite for any pick in the top 5, I’ve noticed his “draft position” prop has been trending towards him being favoured to be under 5.5 (basically meaning he would be taken top 5). Last night/earlier today most bookies had the over favoured (meaning he wouldn’t go top 5). Whether it’s Anaheim, SJS, Montreal, or a trade down I really think he goes top 5.
Pundits have been saying that player grades were all over the map after Bedard and Fantilli. I’d look at it like everyone has a favourite ice cream. But you may very well be correct on your assessment
Oh you,
He said he won't say who the scout was and said it wasn't a Habs scout but maybe it could've indeed been a Habs scout after all.
I don’t believe in these sorts character assassinations of teenagers I was simply illustrating how silly it is to hold this against Michkov.
Matt Turek is our CHL scout and is the one who said "I'd bang the table for Beck at 26"
no, I think Slaf is underrated here
stop with the non sense man, Carlsson is a stud of a player and human
I don't think character issues. His skating is far from elite and there are some questions regarding his compete level. Very high hockey IQ though. Most Swedes are low maintenance when it comes to character issues.
