who cares. just one of them end up on the wings please

 

[wetcoast]

Bedard, Wright, Michkov

This is the way I see it as well but honestly throw all 3 names in a hat.

 

[Voight]

People are sleeping on Wright. It sucks he lost all of last season because of COVID but his rookie OHL year was better than McDavid's.

I think people are also overlooking how dominant he was at the U18s but he missed 2 games thus wasn't the tournament leading scorer and has a more complete game (and projects a more complete game) than either Bedard and Michov who are better pure offensive talents to be sure.

 

[J15]

Isn’t Bedard 5’9”? He can still grow obviously, but if stays at that height it’ll be hard for him to become a top 3 centre in the league, which is what you would need to project him as to rank him ahead of Wright. Wright seems like a sure thing at this point.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Bedard, Michkov, Wright

 

[Lays]

Bedard, Michkov, Wright. Easy

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Not sure which will end up being the best, but I'm almost certain that folks that rely on highlight videos will come away least impressed with Wright simply because that's not his game. He's not as flashy as the other two, and thus, won't impress as much for Youtube followers.

 

[KevSkillz4]

No one is McDavid.

Bedard is the best.
Wright and Michkov are pretty close.

 

[Miro4Norris]

1. Kemell 2. Michkov 3. Bedard 4. Wright

 

[Kshahdoo]

Bedard doesn't look that impressive right now. Wright hasn't played enough games in the season. Michkov is destroying MHL, but fails to make the KHL... Still Michkov.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Bedard
Wright
Michkov

Centers have more value than wingers. Bedard has more offensive upside than Wright, if he sticks at center. I’d rank them differently, if this wasn’t only a vote on potential.

He just turned 16. I assume he will grow more. Crosby is only 2" taller than him.

 

[Machinehead]

I was the 69th person to vote for Bedard, Michkov, Wright.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Not that I care a lot about polls like this, but Michkov keeps playing better and better with each new month not even year, while Wright and Bedard don't look impressive right now. 10+7 after 7 games in the MHL by Michkov. 3+2 after 7 games for Bedard.

For the hype, Bedard and Wright combining for under a point per game in CHL has been extremely underwhelming. Still a very small sample size, but if they were what they are hyped to be, they should be dominating in each game.

I want one of these guys each on the Seattle Kraken, Detroit Red Wings and Vancouver Canucks.

Michkov will be ideal for Vancouver, he's exactly what they need. I doubt Canucks will be bad enough to get him, though.

Reincarnation of P. Bure?

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Atleast 1 will go to either Arizona or Buffalo most likely

 

[Kshahdoo]

Reincarnation of P. Bure?

Far from Bure... I mean by style, not by skill and talent. Bure used his speed and dangling and Michkov uses his IQ and shot. Yeah, Bure wasn't dumb and could shoot pretty ok, and Michkov if not speedy, has crazy agility and edge work and can outdangle almost anybody, but those qualities are what made/make them Bure and Michkov.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Atleast 1 will go to either Quebec or Buffalo most likely

Fixed it for you.

But it should be illegal for Arizona and Buffalo to get a top pick in the next few drafts.

 

[bigbabybuda]

Bedard but Michkov is closing quick.
