Is that actually happening? I personally haven't seen it as a Habs fan. Many people, including myself, wanted Michkov. He's an incredible prospect and I was almost certain he would be drafted by one of my two teams.
You can find example right here. Overall Michkov was belittled by a lot of fans, media and even mtl manegemnt. Again, for me its not a problem of Reinbacher, because he is a very good prospect. But everybody will talk how he will be not as good as Muchkov. Now some crazy heads are talking how Reinbacher is more valuable. Its crazy and its not a problem of Reinbacher, mtl fans just need to root for their guy, they dont need to belitttle Michkov, it's a pity and it doesn't do them any credit. Over time, it is this active, sometimes inappropriate, sometimes deceitful, sometimes pathetic will be remembered by fans of other teams and specialists. And the real victim of this activity will be Reinbacher, who will be blamed for his inability to be at the level of Michkov. But this is not his problem at all - this is the problem of management, who decided to openly lie, tell about Demidov from a completely different draft, although in fact they went by political choice. That's what they would say - Michkov lives in terrible Russia, for three years we have no control over his development, and maybe more, we decided to go the other way, but through the media and stuffing began to spin stories about what a bad character he has (McKinnon is known for his complaisant character), and that he's not really that talented. It's pathetic, it's embarrassing. And the fans who echo this don't do any better. It's not about all the fans, of course. But you can easily find them here, in mtl goard or a lot on twitter(Im using facebook or instagramm, but I believe there are even more) And all this was heard in Russia, all this was heard about him by Michkov, so I'm glad for him that he was picked by the team that wanted him.
