If it were me, I’d pass on Michkov solely based on the 5’10” and 148 part. 5’10” isn’t hateful but he needs 50 more pounds for the NHL.

I've seen weights of 160 to 170 for Michkov elsewhere, so I don't really know his weight.
But I DON'T want to see the Caps move up and give up picks to get him. I don't think a player you have to wait a minimum of 3 years for is worth giving up something to chase after, especially with the continuing constraints on the salary cap limiting the team's flexibility given their current salary cap situation. The Caps should be chasing more picks, not fewer. I'd be perfectly happy with Reinbacher or Dvorsky at #8 if it comes to that. But I just saw a mock draft with Reinbacher going #5, which is absurd helium for the guy given that he wasn't really on the draft radar before this year.
Now, if Michkov falls to #8 because of the Russia/contract complications, maybe that's a horse of a different color .....

Man October is a long way off. I hope we see some movement this summer.
When do the trades n such usually happen over the summer?
I afraid the Caps are going to have to give up picks to move Mantha, and likely Kuzy too.
I'm with BlackIce...we need to be collecting picks, not giving them away (especially in the draft)

My bet is that they trade Kuzy to move up a few picks to get Michkov. They would need to keep a good chunk of his salary to do it though. Looks like they are stuck with Mantha.
