Because he is small winger from Russia with three years deal in 2023. He wasn't "if", he was. And he is. Its not a first time, its not a last time.So why did 5 teams after CHI pass on Michkov? If he was that much of a slam dunk of a prospect he should have gone #2 at worst. Clearly there was something that made teams hesitant.
I agree tho I don't understand why we need to shit on other players. I think both reinbacher and michkov at their peak will be big impact players. Going to be a good time in both MTL and PHI.
I am curious tho why you think it was objectively bad pick at the time and even worse now? What are you basing your opinion on?
Reinbacher is good. And I like him. He is just in other lower category.
I base my opinion on their performance. One is special player who will drive offense of his team, other is future 2-3 defenseman. Need in RD isn't the answer to not draft near generational winger. Same for Arizona. Both Reinbacher and Simashev are not future Makars/Quinn Hughes to not draft Michkov. .
