That's fair, I no longer care about Michkov either, I decided to give Hughes the benefit of the doubt soon after they passed on Michkov anyway. Love where we're going here.

LOL
I totally forgot you were Pro Michkov at the time.
It must be because you don't make a point to harp on it like some others do.

LOL how'd you forget? I was banging the Michkov drum louder than any 'round here prior to the draft. People thought me crazy and obsessed. lol

Still think in a vacuum it was the right call, but I digress.

For some reason I couldn't get that bench brawler dude out of my head as the noisiest of all.
Your posts were mild compared to some of the ones he came up with.

He was my favourite poster at the time.. lol

A shield if you will.

Let’s hope Torts does better with Michkov than Laine. That was a marriage made in hell.

I'm hoping for similar results myself.

And why am I hoping for this...? Lol

 

[Kennerback]

Torts did so well making Laine feel welcome in Columbus, that a few months later FIVE of his BJ teammates went to management to say Laine didn’t fit in and had to go.

 

[Kennerback]

And why am I hoping for this...? Lol

There’s no doubt in my mind that Demidov is much better for us and our team is trending so well that Michkov’s success is no threat to us and almost irrelevant.

The Demidov vs Michkov threads are just diversions to temporarily pacify disgruntled fans from around the NHL.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Hughes is smart.

I'd really like to know the reason why he passed on Michkov. It wasn't because of the contract or because he was the same player as Cole Caufield.

I still think Michkov is the better on ice prospect so far in their lives ( that doesn't mean he will be better in the NHL) , Demidov just has an amazing attitude and work ethic imo , they probably don't like something about Michkov , I suppose it will leak one day

In hindsight it doesn't matter now because we have Demidov + Reinbacher so we still win in the end but without picking Demidov this year things do get a little bit more questionable

 

[Mudz]

Hughes' response was hilarious "You can both hang-out at the blue line"
Hutson is going to need a lot of ass covering from his wingers...

KH was clearly referencing the future PP1 they envision

Bobrov's father is a scout for SKA and they passed on him. What else do you need to know really?

 

[SwiftyHab]

Because I was pretty sure he will go #2. I always have him #2 on my draft ranking list.

You know I was joking right? I know you’re president of the Demidov fanclub

Oh thank you so much. I'm so happy that you're joking about that. You are a funny dude!!

You right, I'm the president of Ivan Demidov fanclub!!

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I still can't believe we drafted him

 

[Skip Bayless]

The sub titles do say that it was demidov who said '2004?', though the scene seems a little cut up and it's difficult to say what might have been said in between what they showed.

I couldn't tell if Hughes was being serious regarding Demidov knowing about Vinny's time in Russia or talking shit.

He was pulling Lecavalier's leg.

Gosh, Kent is such a bro.

I was surprised nobody mentioned that part of the draft video. Hughes making sure Demidov had bad interviews with other teams was hilarious
