Between Wright, Bedard and Michkov, that's 3 potential generational talents along the lines of McDavid/Crosby/Ovechkin in a span of 2 years. Not to mention potential superstars in Lambert and Savoie.
Just absolutely insane. No better 2-year window to rebuild in recent memory (McDavid, Eichel, Matthews comes closest).
For what it's worth, Bedard is also listed at 5'9" by the Regina Pats (listed 5'10% on EP).
Also, I'm assuming you're saying Michkov needs to grow a few more inches to have a shot at 1 against Bedard, because any other year, he'd be looked at as a slam dunk 1st pick.
I can't even remember the last time someone as good as Michkov (pending nothing crazy happens to derail his career so quickly) went number 2. Probably have to go all the way back to Malkin at least.

Yes, I would say Wright-Bedard-Michkov is the best 2 year trio to be draftable since Ovechkin-Malkin-Crosby.
And yes, your assumption is right. I just think that all things equal people will pick the Canadian, but if michkov gets to 6ft and is a bit bigger than Bedard I think he will be selected 1st. His goal scoring rate is truly incredible.
