Matvei Michkov moves closer to Montreal following a major declaration
If the first pick in the next NHL auction is fixed (Connor Bedard), it is not the case for the following selections. In fact, from the second to the sixth position, it is difficult to determine who will be taken first, even if the logic would want Leo Carlsson to be the famous one chosen by the Ahaneim Ducks.
It's the Blue Jackets who will be talking at the third spot. Their President of Hockey Operations, John Davidson, gave quite a lesson in transparency today, saying that they would select a center.

So that means Matvei Michkov, the one many see as the second greatest talent in this draft behind Bedard, will certainly not start his career in Columbus as he plays right wing.
At the same time, it brings him a lot closer to Montreal.
