Precisely this. We all know that Michkov was the best player after Bedard, and was ideally suited to several teams whose competitive window would just be opening up when he made the journey to North America, keeping him on a cost-controlled contract for three years of competitive viability.I feel like there is a lot of copium here from fans of teams who passed on Michkov to justify their selections. No doubt about it, he's going be an incredible player, he seems to take himself very seriously.
They merely do not wish to admit to their own teams' folly for reasons that I'll not discuss, but that have nothing to do with hockey itself.
