Would you draft him though, if you had one of the top 3-5 picks?
I'd be staying clear, personally.

Depends where you think you're at with your rebuild. A team like Arizona, I'd draft him 2nd overall. They have so many picks in the next few years, they're not winning anytime soon and they're in that tiny arena for the next 3-5 years anyway. It would probably be to their advantage to bring in a guy like Michnov in the 26-27 season after his Russian contract expires. At that point, their other high-end picks will be close to done their entry-level deals so the ability to bring in a player of that calibre on an entry-level contract would be huge.
