The Philadelphia Flyers have drafted Matvei Michkov at No. 7. Is it a risk? Absolutely. But he has superstar potential and the Flyers desperately needed high-end talent. coreypronman explains why Michkov is worth it:
“At some point, the talent is so massive relative to the alternative that you take the gamble, but in the top five, top 10 even, you’re still getting an excellent player, and the difference between that guy and no player is rather huge to your organization” said an executive who was also skeptical of taking Michkov high.
But when it starts becoming Michkov versus David Reinbacher, Zachary Benson, Dalibor Dvorsky, Nate Danielson, Gabe Perreault, Ryan Leonard or Colby Barlow, most scouts agree there is a massive gap in ability, and you are leaving a lot of talent on the board by picking someone other than Michkov. There are no guarantees as well on any of those players hitting to their potential.In my opinion, there is a significant drop in ability from Michkov to Carlsson.
There is an asset management argument to this decision too. Even if you aren’t enamored with the player due to something in his skill set, or the geopolitical situation, if he becomes a KHL star over the next few years there will be serious trade demand for that player once his deal is up.
