A bombshell regarding Michkov and the Canadiens has just set the internet on fire
Knowing that Kent Hughes is actively trying to move up in the draft in order to draft a center player in the top four picks (Fantilli, Carlsson, or Smith), some have concluded that the Montreal Canadiens' management wasn't necessarily interested in the Russian prodigy Matvei Michkov.
However, the Twitter account Incarcerated Bob just dropped a bomb concerning the 18-year-old forward and the Montreal Canadiens. Indeed, according to this information, Kent Hughes is seriously considering drafting the Russian phenom if he is still available when the Canadiens make their selection.
Wow! This news is likely to greatly please CH fans!
Although he is not a professional journalist, Incarcerated Bob has very interesting information about the Canadiens, being the one who first confirmed the hiring of Martin St. Louis as head coach.
This isn't the first time we've mentioned this, but if the Canadiens can't move up in the draft and Michkov is still not drafted, it would be a monumental mistake not to select him. Many experts even go as far as to assert that the Russian phenomenon is as talented as Connor Bedard and that he would have been the top overall pick in the vast majority of recent drafts.
Let's just hope the Canadiens have the guts to pick him, as it could turn out to be a home run for the organization!
