The top line comment appears to be an error in translation. I believe his SKA coach meant top club (ie Michkov not ending up in the AHL). I’ve seen a few individuals make the distinction but not an official translator.Not to mention, you can teach a player to improve their defensive game.
What I'm curious for Michkov is his coacc at SKA saying that the agreement to let Michkov play for Philly is in the condition he plays on the top line. Or else they will call him back to the KHL. And my curiosity is mainly how Torts will handle that. Because if there's one thing he doesn't do is hand players ice time and opportunities.
