Watched a ton of Michkov last season and wanted my team to draft him. He's such a talented player and I think he probably is the more productive player on average, but if I was starting a team I would take Demidov. I think it could be like a 100 pt player versus a 90 point player who is significantly bigger and stronger, has a far better 2 way game, better skater, and just generally a more desirable personality. This is purely a guess but I think if you were to ask this question to each NHL gm the poll would be heavily reversed. If anyone wants to, they can see them play together, I think even on the same line, against men in KHL preseason games from this past year
