Depends who you ask. Michkov's ceiling is 100 point player... His floor is Nail Yakupov.
... yes depends on who you ask. If you ask Pronman his ceiling is higher than Bedard's.

I truly believe Michkov would be a consensus top 3 pick if it wasn't for the situation in Russia, and that's OK with me just be thankful he should be there at 5th overall.
I don't think any decisions can be made until the habs talk to this kid anyways though, which they should have an opportunity to do so in person when he comes to the draft.
