I don’t think anybody cares about where Michkov has family. He was an 18 year old draftee acting a high profile UFA.Michkov apparently has family in Brooklyn which is 1.5hr drive from Philly - and is NYC Little Russia (Brighton Beach & Sheepshead Bay)
Wasn’t drafted yet so no he wasn’t a draftee. If it’s true good for him for using what little leverage he had to end up in the spot he felt was best. He’s not the first and won’t be the last.I don’t think anybody cares about where Michkov has family. He was an 18 year old draftee acting a high profile UFA.
Kovalenko scores...my god am I old....
They look like they're getting ready to head to the grade 11 high school dance.
Nikolai is his sonAny relation to Andrei?
It doesn't even phase me anymore.Nikolai is his son
There would be no point in having a draft if every prospect did that. It’s not something to applaud him over. He was regarded as the second best player in the draft and was up there with Bedard for talent. He fell to seventh. People are acting like Hughes was the only one who passed on him. Clearly teams were turned off. It wasn’t just us.Wasn’t drafted yet so no he wasn’t a draftee. If it’s true good for him for using what little leverage he had to end up in the spot he felt was best.

Wait until we draft Saku's grandson, now that we make us feel real old lolIt doesn't even phase me anymore.
I remember vividly skau koivu hype before his first game.... now we drafted his kid.
That was my old moment.

If it became more commonplace something would have to be done.Jagr, Lindros, Gretzky, Elway, Manning, Bo Jackson
All guys who used what means they had available to them to avoid being stuck in an undesirable professional situation via the draft… And yet the draft didn’t fall apart because of their actions.
They all went on to superstar careers and for the most part the drama surrounding the circumstances of their draft just ended up being a footnote to their legacy.
We don't need evidence. It is NOT a theory. We KNOW he did not want to go to Arizona/Utah. There are enough talking heads reporting things that it is obvious he tried to force his way to Philly. Who cares why he did it.Come on guys, what's the point of peddling unfounded totally unnecessary conspiracies? There's zero evidence of any of this.

Indeed. The result at failing to draft and develop Ds too.Their D-core is a retirement home. Yikes.
There's no point. But at the same time there's around here a ridiculous unwillingness to admit there was some smoke over Michkov. What was the smoke? Was there a fire? Those are unknown and i agree it's pointless to speculate. But there was definitely smoke denying that is ridiculous. He was drafted 7th for an unkown reason and it was certainly not a lack of skills and it was not the russian factor only as we drafted Demidov 5th the next year and a Simashev was drafted before him.Come on guys, what's the point of peddling unfounded totally unnecessary conspiracies? There's zero evidence of any of this.
Tbh I wanted him as a vet for short term but 4x8 was absolutely ridiculous. It was pretty clear his production was from leeching off of kuch the past couple years. He basically sold his spot in the hof for a few extra million.Stamkos
