I can't remember the last top talent like Michkov (I think that was Ovechkin), but also, I can't remember the last time a young prospect signed such a long contract.

This is wrong. Doesn't matter if we didn't improve our position, we still had to win the lottery to get 1st. We've got one more lottery win left in the next four years, let's just use it right away in 2023 and get it over with.
Nope. You're wrong. Other poster is right. A lottery win is only considered a win if you benefit from it by moving up. We finished last & could not benefit from a lottery win. We still have 2 lottery wins available to us.
Might end up to be the next Sergei Makarov….
Greatest Russian not to play in the NHL?
It doesn’t matter, we only need 2023 lottery win and we’re good

It's a sick draft 1st round. We need Florida's pick to fall into top 20 range, and we're good to go.

Habs cup - its in the BAG
The fact that my 16th ranked prospect in pre-liminary rankings is Riley Heidt.
A kid that put up 58 pts in 65 games.
In the WHL.
In his Draft-1 Season.
2023 is bonkers.

I really don't think so, pretty sure that's just wishful thinking from Habs fans based on that "move up" wording in an article. By default we were going to pick 3rd unless we won one of the two lottery spots (or two teams in the #12-15 won and moved up 10 spots). I think one of the Habs reporters needs to clarify this with the NHL head office.

This was discussed multiple times. The rule is that a team can only move up 2x per 5 years. We didn’t move up.

Hutson's younger brother will be joining the USNDTP U-17 team in the fall. He's a '24 draftee

Seems to me the best lhjmq prospects for next year aren’t even tagged for the 1st round, and not even sure for the second. Cataford and Drapeau are the top rated but it looks like a very poor year for the lhjmq. Any thoughts or insight on this? I hope i am wrong…

They won the Memorial Cup 3 years in a row so I'm told every things all good.

"Limits on lottery wins. Beginning this season, no team will be able to move up the draft board by winning a lottery more than two times in a five-year period."
Seriously, this was all discussed pre-lottery in the tank thread.
Everything you need to know about the 2022 NHL draft lottery
The NHL's 16 non-playoff teams all have a shot at moving up the draft order.

I can see Cataford sneaking into late 1st round. Tyler Peddle too.
Drapeau seems more 2nd round, but we'll see what the season brings.
Preliminary rankings aren't even out yet!
Usually they start coming out after Hlinka, which starts July 29th, so sometime in August.

Yeah I just think it's poorly worded article written by ESPN, not the NHL. They shouldn't have used the "move up" part as it doesn't apply to the last place team winning #1 or 2 or the second last place team winning #2. I still believe those situations count as a win and we only have one left in the next four years. Under your scenario the same team could finish last and pick 1st overall every single year, which goes against the spirit of the rule change.
Either way, whatever. Just win Bedard next year and I'm good.
Otherwise:#Don't score for Dalibor
#Mail it in for Carlsson

Depends on Putin more than Mitchkov. If the Russian go in Lithuania...
That's before all the risers.

I would avoid Michkov. He's a very dangerous pick to make with Putin tightening his grip on the population there.
In particular with Michkov, Putin seems to have found a way to keep players he wants in Russia with this conscription nonsense. He's found his way to put people in line.
And that, of course, assumes that Michkov really does want to play in the NHL. Maybe he's a St George ribbon wearing, Z toting, Duginist true believer in Great Russia that stretches from Lisbon to Vladivostok.
