Man, we’ve had our draft day blunders but passing on Michkov for Reinbacher is going to sting for a long time.

It's insane. Everyone aside from Chicago made a gigantic, gigantic blunder letting him drop.

It's at least "somewhat" understandable with being from Russia and what was going on with his dad. But it was as free a pick for a franchise player as you could get.

They seem to have learned going with Demidov this year

Honestly he's a similar coach to Green. Firm, straighforward, honest and demanding. Protects his players too. Both want their players to play aggressive forecheck.

There's things I don't like about Green already, for example how he sets-up the PK. ....

I find their PK setup pretty odd. Some sort of diamond formation with the strong side d-man playing really far up from the goal line.
