It's worth noting that Michkov may debut in the NHL later in his career, serving as a cautionary tale.
Additionally, Michkov's statistic has been adjusted to account for his games with SKA, so it may require an asterisk. Nevertheless, Bedard is expected to be chosen first overall because he is readily available and has a faster path to the NHL.
