Heart goes out to the family. I couldn’t imagine the impact of losing a parent unexpectedly at such a young age. I was 34 when my Dad passed away, and while the effects have not been so visible on a day to day aspect, it’s certainly affected me on a macro level that wasn’t so apparent. As I look back, it changed perspectives on a lot of life. Pride makes you think life goes on and you’re fine, when the impact below the surface alters your approach to relationships and work, even while not realizing it at the time.
Michkov is developing into one of the more risky early picks I can remember, especially in a deep draft. The war and geopolitical environment, his contract in the KHL, and now how he reacts to the death of his father. Wonder if he slides down the rankings to a bubble team who might be more okay with waiting than one of the rebuilding teams who have other choices of great players in the early first round.
