[Drafted] 9th overall - Mikhail Sergachev - Montreal Canadiens

[Dobber]

DobberProspects ranked 10th, had him going 8th in the Mock. He goes 9th...

Here is the snippet from the Fantasy Prospects Report:

Mikhail Sergachev, LD (Windsor, OHL)
Selected sixth overall in the CHL import draft, Sergachev has had a monster season in his draft year scoring 17 goals and 57 points in 67 games and is now in contention for the top draft-eligible defenseman in the 2016 draft. There are very few holes in Sergachev’s game if any. He has excellent size for a 17 year old, is an above-average skater for a player his size. He is one of the best offensive defensemen in his draft class with good puck control skills, a heavy slap shot which is often low, accurate and hard that at the very least creates rebound or tip-in goal opportunities. He is adept at running the power play, and is able to transition offense with breakout passes. His hockey IQ lends to good decision making at both ends and he reads defensive plays well creating turnovers. He can also use his size to throw hits and clear the front of his goal. Sergachev may need a few more years of development before he is NHL-ready, but he projects to play like Victor Hedman once he arrives.
Upside: Puck moving top-four defenseman (Victor Hedman) 10-30-40
Rank: 10

An NHL ready D-man is going to do nothing to squash the Subban rumours.

The Habs get a very good player with potential to be a great one! Markov to mentor? Just a good situation.
