I wasn't on board with Michkov as I don't like his game that much, feel he's overrated, small, plays small, isn't the hardest worker or very good in his own end. Reminds me of Caufield but a better playmaker. It's just too early to say how this will pan out as it's not looking great since Mickhov clearly is highly skilled offensive player. I am utterly shocked about the rumors that they are letting him out of his contract since it's not something I can recall seeing for high end prospects before. I was worried he would sign for an addition 2 years so I was very wrong on that one.
Reinbacher was very tough to get a good read on as his play was inconsistent though his 2nd half was clearly much more consistent and mistake free. Dobson is someone that I think makes sense to hope he can be that kind of D and impact. With prospects it's always about progression or lack of so anyone that tells you they know what a player is going to be in 5 years is full of shit most likely as there are just so many factors and variables going on that you can just track their progress year to year and adjust from there.
I do think from what i've seen based mostly on his NL games that the scouting reports are incorrect, and that his offensive game is better then it's been talked about but his defensive game is not as polished as scouting reports suggested. Either that or the the big jump in weight from 185 to 209 impacted his game that much as I only saw a little of him in his draft year and wasn't at all impressed but can see that he has tools scouts love of size, mobility, above average skating, can move the puck and closes gaps well with his speed and long reach.
