Didn’t Tarasenko play in the KHL at 16? Probably fair to call Michkov a bust at this point.

Yeah, but honestly Tarasenko was a full year older, than Michkov. So now Matvey has 12 months to get rid of this bust status.

Tarasenko is also built like a truck. Wasn't his father a professional player? He was probably training like a professional from a young age.
Michkov physically is a lot smaller out there and looks like a kid.
Yes, Tarasenko's father was very good hockey player. Also his grandfather was an athlete.

Does this mean whoever drafts him has to wait until his D+4 season for him to play in the NHL?

Almost certainly yes. And just like that, he's probably not even a top-5 pick anymore. Or maybe he still is but anyway, that 2023 draft just got way more interesting in that sense.
D+3 actually. His draft is 2023.
Still, no chance, he'll be picked top5 now without any kind of out clause.

That means he is contractually obligated to SKA until April 2026. No reason to move anywhere. As we know all upcoming things, I would not be surprised if he extended then for another 2-years.

23/24 = D+1
24/25 = D+2
25/26 = D + 3, end of contract
26/27 = D + 4, he plays in the NHL
Unless you count the possible tail-end of 25/26 season. But it's unlikely he would be picked by the team desperate for additions for the playoffs. Although in 3 years a lot can happen, I suppose.
Yeah nah...

I have said it so many times. But I have no problem to keep it again and again. The KHL contracts have never included any kind of out-clause. By using other words, such out-clauses are prohibited by the KHL by-laws as they are prohibited by the NHL by-laws. Guessing, people should finally get this message.
I bet, SKA offered so much, so his parents and his agent said, f*** NHL and its draft, if you could make money right away, you had to make it right away.

Player-initiated buyout is indeed an option in theory, but he has to apply for that like two seasons in advance, which makes it close to impossible in reality.

It also cuts his ELC from 3 years to 2. Financially, this was almost certainly a good move. From a developmental perspective.. probably not.

That is not out-clause. It is a buy-out by a player with an obligation to pay a club. If I were his agent, I would not recommend him to do so because usually the later contract´s years bring a bigger salary, hence bigger compensation to the club in case of a buy-out by player.
If Michkov is the clear #1 which looks like a very real possibility, I take him 1st overall even if he doesn’t come over until 2016, especially if I’m a rebuilding team.
I think it’s likely he’ll be over sooner with a buyout.
They say, his contract is worth 85M rubles ($1.16M)/5 years. Laughable money, actually. He should fire his agent and leave his parents, if the site is right.

I don't really think that a couple extra years in a low(er) pressure environment is a bad thing for most prospects, especially when that environment is still the second best league in the world by a landslide.

If thats true that is pretty bad...
He could be making 3m/yr on his ELC with bonuses.
