Montreal Canadiens Should Send Mikhail Sergachev To Junior
The Montreal Canadiens have a great prospect in Mikhail Sergachev. However, he is better suited to play big minutes in Junior, rather than watching NHL games.
The Montreal Canadiens drafted Mikhail Sergachev ninth overall in last June’s NHL Draft. The big, Russian defender played well in training camp, and made the NHL club to begin the season. He wasn’t expected to play a huge role with the Canadiens, but he’s not playing a role at all.
If he is just going to sit in the press box and not play, he may as well be sent back to Junior. Eight games into the NHL season, Sergachev has played just three games. He has been a healthy scratch for the past four contests.
