Re: Carlsson or Michkov?
It'll be interesting to see if any opinions change once the draft is complete, depending on which team drafts them. I'd like a center to go to CBJ, and any player going to CHI will have poor results for years due to the lack of talent around them.
Michkov could slide due to the Russian factor, his defensive game, and the wait. Most GMs won't be around to reap the reward of drafting him. Cam Robinson thought he'd drop to 8. In fantasy though the top four is pretty set with Bedard, Carlsson, Fantilli, and Michkov. if you have 4th OA you won't have a dilemma, just pick whoever is left and be happy with your choice.
I'd rather wait on Michkov than on a player who is drafted by CHI and will burn their rookie eligibility with no results to show for it.
