Dramatic turn of events in the Matvei Michkov case: the Montreal Canadiens finally have their answer
For several weeks, Matvei Michkov's name has certainly been one of the most talked about among the Montreal Canadiens (and among the fans).
With the 5th overall pick, the Canadiens probably have the best choice to draft the generational talent that Michkov represents, but some red flags and big questions are holding some people back (his native country and his KHL contract).
However, in the last few minutes, there has been a major development that could change everything.
We have our answer
In an exclusive interview just published by TVA Sports, Michkov's current assistant coach, Daniel Bochner, who is also the player development coach for the organization, mentioned this.
Boom! That's exactly the information we needed and were missing.
In light of this, do you believe the Canadiens should absolutely draft Michkov?
For those who are still in doubt, Bochner added this:
This will put an end to a scary theory that Michkov might be forced to stay with Saint Petersburg at the end of his contract. This is not the case and it comes from a reliable source.
See here the major report that could change everything:
We want Michkov! He is the best Russian player since Alex Ovechkin, according to many, and he has talent comparable to Nathan MacKinnon and Auston Matthews.
