Sure they do.

KHL is still best for Michkov.

Far greater risk for Gm to ruin him if he wasn’t under contract
 
Michkov has consistently said he dreams of playing in the NHL and most of the teams that would be in position to draft him are probably 3 years out from really contending anyway. I would say having him for 3 years starting at 21 on a cheap ELC (assuming it plays out that way) would kinda be a dream scenario for a lot of these organizations.

Why did Michkov get cut from the Russia U25 team? Seems surprising.

As far as I understand he hasn't been cut, just not in the main group. As to why... well, we have a genius as a coach, who likes players who skate fast, hit hard and always put pressure on opposite players. Playing smart and scoring goals isn't that important anymore.

Exactly.
Has an Habs fan, I'm still dreaming of Bedard (I'm allowed until the lottery) but getting a guy like Mitchkov in 3 years could be a great fit. Our defensemen corp still need time to develop and we still need a 1G.

Miroshnichenko is another Russian kid "who'll probably never come", and he's coming. Probably in the stealth mode, like Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher so evil Putin won't see him going to NA...

If he's worth his hype his agent might just as well insist on one year of ELC at 22 followed by an expensive bridge deal.
 
If he gets picked 4th he can sign a elc with 3M in p.bonuses.

So overall worth 4M per year.

What are the top players making in the KHL today?


That’s where it’s different vs Kaprivov, as a 5th round pick he was able to sign a elc contract with just .925M in p.bonuses.
+ just how Minnesota handled things with Kaprizov

More players should try to take control of their development. Either way Michkov will come over when he's ready. No need to rush him be patient with his development and reap the benefits. In the mean time teams can develop the depth players around Michkov.
