He is overated and stats are padded with 2 elite forwards

Prone to defensive lapses , he isn’t worth 10 mil

Needs the right fit to for his skill set and few teams can offer that .

Okay. When he gets an ~$80M contract in the next calendar year, I don't want to hear a peep from you about being shocked or anything about "How in the world did he get $80M????".

It's not about does he deserve it, or if he's worth it, or insert whatever reason you want. He's going to get it because Deadmonton has no choice but to give him what he wants.

Michkov is awesome

Yeah, what team could use a guy like that? Why bother drafting him when there is an Austrian defenceman available.

Paralysis by overanalysis in the case of Canadiens management regarding Michkov. A guy like that, you just draft him. Figure the rest out later. Philly did, and it obviously wasn't that hard. Maybe Briere does a better sales pitch.

Nobody is as thorough as Hughes , every detail is gone over

Brobov`s father works in the KHL

We know nothing on bypassing Michkov , I think he had no interest in Montreal
 
A guy like Michkov has no interest in playing and living in Canada. He wants the US. No Canadian team was ever getting him to play for them. No US backwater market like Raleigh or Columbus was getting him either. The Habs would have wasted a 5th overall pick drafting him because he would never come to them.

Remember why all those teams ahead of the Habs also passed on Michkov. It's not because they didn't think he was a good player.
 
If those rumors are true I get it. Haven't seen concrete proof of that. Still, I won't lament, it's the Flyers and their organization sucks.

Multiple teams passed him over, likely because it was telegraphed that he wouldn't sign with them.

Draisaitl as the trailer was Michkovs man w Sanheim out of the play having crashed into the boards in Ozone… instead he did a fly by to go cherry pick

Horrendous defensive effort
