Matvei Michkov and the Canadiens: last-minute scoop
With the NHL Draft just two days away, executives from all 32 teams are in Nashville with some prospects to fine-tune their strategy and conduct interviews.
Naturally, the player attracting the most attention is Matvei Michkov, whom the teams will be meeting for the 1st time.
One scout dropped a bombshell about the team's interest in the young prospect.
"Excellent interview with an (unnamed) NHL scout.
- He heard that Montreal was really interested in Michkov."
- He heard that Montreal was really interested in Michkov."
The #CH shows great interest in Matvei Michkov? Interesting. But is it a smokescreen?
At least, we'll have the answer in a couple of sleeps! #NHLDraft https://t.co/BX7ox0BTK1- Marc-Olivier Beaudoin (@MOBeaudoin1) June 26, 2023
Great interview by @DenikSport with one (not named) NHL scout.
- He says that Columbus is really considering to pick Smith over Carlsson.
- He heard that Montreal has a big interest in Michkov.
- Scouts don't like Michkov's character a lot, he looks selfish on the ice.- Andy & Rono (@ARHockeyStats) June 26, 2023
This is a very promising revelation, when we really thought it was over and that the CH had turned its back on the Russian.
