Connor Bedard and Adam Fantilli are more than likely going No. 1 and 2 in the Draft but later picks hold an abundance of value. Covers_josh gives you his 3 favorite NHL Draft picks — highlighted by Matvei Michkov.
However, despite the market becoming more efficient, there is still some value to extract from this draft in the coming days as the Top 5 picks are anything but locks. More information is rolling out the closer we get to the big day on Wednesday.
Last year, Shane Wright was -380 to go first overall the week of the draft and fell to fourth, which could have been found at 60/1 days out. Are there any more potential goldmines for bettors with the draft hours away and information swirling?Matvei Michkov draft position: Under 5.5 Matvei Michkov is the biggest mystery in this year’s draft. He just finished a solid campaign in the KHL with the worst team in the league Sochi HC where the winger had nine goals and 11 assists in 27 games. That might not seem like a lot, but per, that’s the best points-per-game rate by any draft-eligible Russian player from the KHL since 2008.
Michkov loses some points in being a winger and the lack of time teams are getting with the Russia prospect, but thanks to the second-best offensive skillset in the draft, some mocks have him going as high as No. 2.- LA Kings still have the edge on Dubois, but the Habs could re-enter the race based on Michkov decision
