The Washington Capitals enter the 2023 NHL Draft tonight with the eighth pick in the first round and a chance to jump start the present and the future if they get this pick right. One of their best options, if not the best one, is Matvei Michkov.
But could he come at a price?
Michkov has spoken with few teams and the scouts that have interacted with him did not like his attitude. At the same time there was a picture that surfaced with him and Alex Ovechkin.
So I’m like 50/50 on him but I’m sticking with him because Michkov was the guy I had in my mock draft.
