Michkov will be the Dylan of the rebuild

He could either make the rebuild, or he could not make the rebuild

Definitely Michkov here.

It's not a big deal, but personally I'd have players like Sale, Wood and Gulyayev as poll options ahead of Musty and Sawchyn.

I feel like something dumb is going to happen and we get Reinbacher... not sure why other than "sharks..." Would prefer Carlsson, still on the fence about Michkov but I guess if Hasso isn't in a hurry then Michkov would be fine.

I'm also worried they'll go for him given GMMG's desire for Dman.

Boycotting because Honzek isn't a choice. Not that I'd draft him at 4 over the other names that make sense that high, but because he deserves to be in the pool based on some of the other names that are listed . :sarcasm: :madfire:

Grier doesn’t strike me as a galaxy-brainer. I think he’s very clear about what he wants and pursues it. I really doubt he’s going D when there is a potential top line 1C or a franchise-changing winger available. I think if Carlsson is gone it’s going to be which gamble do they want to take: Smith, who sounds like he needs to seriously work on his skating to reach his ceiling, or Michkov, who.. we know the issues.

I think it’ll be Michkov. Pretty sure Will Smith is about 3 years away too.

This is true, but just dont want to bank on the sharks organization vastly improving smith's skating to the point it needs for the nhl. You need to be able to skate, most important skillset.

That's why I went with the sure thing, Zach Benson. Complete game, skates very well, no holes in his game besides size.

Skating was not an issue for Pavelski or Thornton. Pretty sure those 2 had pretty decent careers being below average skaters.

Even couture is not a really good skater.
