<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Davidson</b></div><div>Maybe Michkov is available at the caps pick and the hawks think they can get him to come over?</div></div>

I'd be shocked if Michkov falls out of the top 5 or 6. He's a Patrick Kane/Panarin/Kucherov type of talent hands down. 4 or 5 teams (beyond Bedard pick at #1), will have a very hard time passing on him as he is hands down the 2nd best player in the draft with Fantilli close behind him. The only reason he obviously won't go number 2 is the Russian contract factor and Fantilli being a elite prospect himself and very close in talent level.

Where it gets a little interesting is taking Carlsson before Michkov as Michkov is better by almost every analysis. After Leo, the talent drops in the draft from elite/franchise/all star locks down to top of the lineup prospects starting with Will Smith IMO. I could possibly see Will Smith making a case to pick over Michkov's contract situation but someone needs be really high on Will Smith or ready to compete in a year or two and can't wait a few years for Michkov. Once you hit pick #6, I just don't see rebuilding teams not having the patience to grab a franchise player.

To frame this up from my point of view, Michkov IMO is not far behind Bedard as far as talent and upside. It's like comparing a Pastrnak to Kane to Toews if they were all drafted the same year in terms of Bedard - Michkov - Fantilli. You could probably look at Leo Carlsson as a Rantanen type of player adding him into the mix. Beyond that, the draft talent takes a noticeable step down to the degree of passing on michkov (Kane/Kucherov/Panarin) is a giant risk.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fangm</b></div><div>The trade is bad but they have to make it. Even watching the game last night Kevin Weekes made that point. Once Kane makes a decision if he picks a team Chicago has to do right by him or else no free agents will sign there, if Bedard does go there he will want out when he can.

He made the point that O'Reilly requested a trade to Toronto, Gio requested a trade to Toronto and Toronto has lots of players wanting to go there because Dubas has a rep as a players GM and while you can debate the merits of that for winning a cup, it attracts players. Davidson already has a bad reputation for the way he's acted as Chicago GM. I just agree with that analysis that if Kane says he wants to go to NYR or Toronto or Edmonton and he gives only one team. Even if it's for future considerations Chicago has to do it and if they don't get need to fire Davidson cause players will avoid the Hawks while he is GM.

Chances of Kane staying and resigning are pretty much zero. It seems pretty obvious he isn't happy with management. Why else would he make public comments about not liking the Tarasenko trade and being disappointed that his health information was leaked by the team.</div></div>

No they don't have to make the trade at all. If you're offered crap you keep the player. Period.

Your last paragraph is just you speculating. Nothing factual. You're just grasping at straws to support your false narrative.
