Michkov vs Demidov

[Guadana]

Are you having fun doing your little victory lap when nobody has played a game in the NHL?

7th rounders didn't play game in NHL too. But all of them played in hockey before, they played it after the draft.

If you are coming here with "they didn't play in nhl yet" so what are you doing here. Or everybody. We should stay silent until both will spend 5 seasons in nhl. I guess draft should be random too?

I need smile "habgh", smile laugh is limited and isn't even close to represent all of idiotism of current situation.

Hfboards is funny sometimes. I think Michkov might be the most overrated prospect in NHL history. At the end of the day, these NHL teams have millions of dollars worth of research tools, access to information we don't have and decided he wasn't worth taking in the top 5.

Saying he has higher IQ then Mcdavid is absurd and you know it. The worst part is Michkov barely improved after his draft year. For a generational prospect I would expect a much bigger jump in production.

I only saw him mention Bedard specifically. But if you think the Michkov thread is nutty take a stroll down Demidov lane .

Completely true.

 

[Jeune Poulet]

Michkov doesn't have a great hockey IQ, Michkov has the highest IQ for a prospect in the last decade and that includes Bedard.

Reading back takes like this in a year or two will be extremely entertaining.

Michkov is slowly gaining a Dustin Rose aura. It's been a while since a prospect has been overhyped to that extent.

Could this end up like choosing between Ovechkin and Malkin? Seems like both will be great.

Flyer fans has to overrate him because Montreal fans won’t stop talking about him and underrating him.

He's not wrong. I wish we had Michkov AND Demidov

Would be disgusting . But alas ..

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Anyone with some updated opinions?

What’s to update? Michkov is still better than Demidov and Habs fans cope and seethe.

LMAO What the hell are they coping and seething about?

Habs fans are ecstatic to have Demidov.

No need for seething at all.

The only thing they need coping with is the 12 month wait until he arrives.

Yeah you clearly don’t read well if you’re in this thread and can say that with a straight face. “LMAO”

Sure I can... It's the truth.

If you think they're seething over this I dunno what to tell you.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Alright, if that’s what you really think and believe, we have nothing to talk about lol, I just hope you’re alright.

Couldn't be in better space. Thanks

Slafkovsky - Suzuki - Michkov
Caufield - Dach - Demidov

Caufield - Suzuki - Demidov
Laine - Dach - Slafkovsky

We're good.

Laine + Reinbacher helps mitigate passing on Michkov.

We still have Newhook, Hage, Beck and Roy to round out rest of roster. Add in our young deep D stable, with potential stars in Hutson, Guhle, Reinbacher Mailloux et tal, plus still a ton of draft capital, and cap space. Yet somehow according to this thread we're supposed to be coping with the loss of Matvei?

We're not.

Things are looking very much up for the future of the Montreal Canadiens.

He's mistaking his own cope & seethe for that of Habs fans. Look, I get it. He's a huge Michkov fan, and he is really struggling to accept that Habs fans are quite pleased that Demidov is going to be a hab, and most have gotten over that Hughes passed on Michkov.

Reminds me of my neighbor's young son. He's 7, and LOVES Bedard. As far as he's concerned. Bedard is the best player that has ever lived, and there no convincing him of anything else. Someday, he'll grow up and realize that having a favorite player doesn't make that guy the greatest of all time. Hopefully our friend here will, too.

Everyone hold hands and SEETHE together . . .

Roman Rotenberg seems to absolutely loves hyping Demidov and seethes every time he talks about Michkov. I'm starting to think there's more to the story of Michkov being sent to Sochi. The easy answer is attitude issues but I'm going to go with the fun version, Michkov stole his fruit loops or pissed in his coffee.

Still weird to me that Rotenberg talks about playing 18 year old Demidov on the top line a year after he sent 18 year old Michkov to Sochi.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Could this end up like choosing between Ovechkin and Malkin.

I don't think so. Malkin was arguably better than Ovechkin for significant stretches of their careers. I think Michkov has a clear edge over Demidov..

 

[Kennerback]

Im a major Michkov fan. I was really pissed when we didn’t pick him up.
Fact: No one in Montreal believe they are getting second best with Demidov. No one’s compensating. If they felt he was worse, they would be complaining about it. Crazy. But that’s reality.

I strongly suspect Rotenberg knew Michkov wasn't gonna honor his contract.
A player is required to give 1 and 1/2 years' advanced notice to buy out a contract, so the time-line somewhat fits.

IIRC, Rotenberg was also pissed that Michkov once went on holiday instead of adhering to Rotenberg's off-season training schedule, or something along those lines.

Its just odd hearing Rotenberg gush over Demidov after spending the past few years being as reserved with Michkov. Demidov is making it clear he's going to the NHL too but Rotenberg seems so willing to work with him around it, he never (at least publicly) extended the same grace to Michkov as he does to Demidov.

I don't think the Michkov wanting out of his contract scenario fits since Demidov is also leaving. There's got to be some smoke to the fire, I'm just not sure what the fire is.
