Just like this season having the battle of Shane Wright vs Juraj Slafkovsky at the draft, next year could be even more insane.
The 2023 NHL Entry Draft is projected to have the next Connor Mcdavid, and Alex Ovechkin in it, with Canadian phenom Connor Bedard, and Russian Matvei Michkov.
However we've got some bad news on Michkov, last night Michkov would get nailed from former Montreal Canadiens defenceman Alexi Emelin.
Anyone who's remembers Emelin knows how devastating his body checks are. However, the hit caused Michkov's knee to bend awkwardly.
Michkov was knocked out of the game and unfortunately was taken to the hospital, sources say Michkov will be out two months with injury.
