Former CH Member Reveals the Other Player Hughes Nearly Drafted in the 5th Spot, and It's Not Michkov

Many fans were very curious to see how the discussions went regarding the generational talent Matvei Michkov, to see how they came to a consensus to overlook him, and in this regard, the video gave us a hint.

"I think he was talking about Michkov in that clip. I also believe their final decision came down to either Leonard or Reinbacher."
