Elliotte Friedman - 32T - Briere & Michkov | Someone did call me on Wednesday and they said to me, do you remember who Daniel Briere played with in the final year of his career? [...] Nathan MacKinnon. So that year, that was the last year of Briere's career. He played for Colorado. [...] MacKinnon was in his second season and he was 19 at the time. That was a very tough season for MacKinnon. And this person said to me that he sees a lot of similarities between MacKinnon in Colorado at the time. [...] Overall though, Briere sees a thread, a common thread between 19 year old MacKinnon, 21 year old Michkov, 2 very, very headstrong, talented players who needed to be ringed in and understood. And this person said to me, do not underestimate how much Briere thinks about that and compares the two. So he sees Michkov as a long-term investment. - 11/12 #LetsGoFlyers #NHL #GoAvsGo
