Michkov wouldn't get past Detroit, plus at the earliest he's not coming to North America until the 2026.2027 NHL season.

Okay, I like where your head is at... but what else ya got besides Rosen? Not interested in him.

Kulich in the press box 3 years from now?

Maybe north American hockey is his passion

That's too much to move up 3 spots

Rather go after borgen than bjorkstrand.

Nah if michkov slips blues gotta take him

Why do they gotta? If Michkov falls past 8, the first thing I do is start bidding on a trade down with Vancouver, Arizona, Buffalo and Pittsburgh. Doesn't mean I can't take Michkov, but I want to see how bad those teams want him first.

as a Pens fan, I would give up a lot

Exactly.

There is no way Seattle would accept that trade. I wouldn't trade Bjorkstrand for those players as a stand alone trade, let alone add in a first rounder.

He’s that good imo

Dude is tiny, not that quick and will be coming from the big KHL rinks. I'd slow that roll just a little before he gets to NA, and we'll see how well he navigates these waters. For me, I'm auctioning that off like a mofo. Definitely not for this AGM's offer, but yeah. Somebody will pay up real nice and then we can take a player we coveted anyway (such as Danielson) and a nice bonus goodie.

Tiny not quick, doesn’t matter he’s still a beast and he’s shown it

Yeah, in the KHL. Have you ever watched a KHL game in person? I'm not saying he won't be a beast, but there's a few concerns he won't quite be.

In person on
But in tv/stream yea like 5 but that was before Russia Ukraine war, they got a little harder to find after that
