Over the past few days, Bob McKenzie has confirmed that Russian phenom Matvei Michkov will be meeting with various teams ahead of the upcoming draft. Reports have been circulating that the Montreal Canadiens would get a chance to speak with him in person and now it is confirmed at 100%.
It is undeniable that this meeting could have an enormous impact on the decision of Kent Hughes regarding the 5th overall pick. Moreover, knowing that Matvei Michkov does not wish to meet all teams, it is a rather interesting sign to see that a discussion with the Canadiens is already scheduled for the Russian prodigy.
