Selon Bill Meltzer, à moins que Matvei Michkov ne re-signe dans la KHL à un moment donné, il sera terminé au camp d’entraînement 2026. Mais le faire venir ici avant serait un énorme défi pour diverses raisons. Donc, c’est probablement mieux s’il reste.

Michkov not being able to come over until 2026 sets up the *perfect* window for this team. He will still be 21 so he’ll still be eligible for a 3 year length on his ELC, and with 3 more years of pro experience until his belt he has the potential to step in as a top line forward immediately once he gets here. Having a player that cheap for 3 years is an enormous advantage for a team trying to compete, so Briere needs to try and set that as the target year for contention.
Huge challenge, why is the NHL so soft when it comes to this?
I get that it may be a preference for us to want him to stay there but as far as it being challenging to get him so what, do it if you want him
I obviously wanna see him earlier but this makes the most sense. Having him on an elc until he’s 24 is insane. Then sign him to 8 years and he’s 32. It’s honestly probably the smartest route but I still wanna see him sooner because I’m eager
Send the Expendables over there and bring him home.
This is a disaster. Our cup window is the next three seasons, and it will be closed by the 26-27 just like the other 6 teams that drafted before us, we’re in win now mode, this isn’t the time for patience.
Briere clearly should have drafted the most nhl ready player to put us over the hump.
