I released my best plays last week for Wednesday's 2023 NHL Draft before Bob McKenzie’s final mock draft, and I'm happily sitting with some solid CLV for the majority of the plays after the NHL Draft odds movement. 
However, despite the market becoming more efficient, there is still some value to extract from this draft in the coming days as the Top 5 picks are anything but locks. More information is rolling out the closer we get to the big day on Wednesday.

I released my best plays last week for Wednesday's 2023 NHL Draft before Bob McKenzie’s final mock draft, and I'm happily sitting with some solid CLV for the majority of the plays after the NHL Draft odds movement. 
However, despite the market becoming more efficient, there is still some value to extract from this draft in the coming days as the Top 5 picks are anything but locks. More information is rolling out the closer we get to the big day on Wednesday. 
Last year, Shane Wright was -380 to go first overall the week of the draft and fell to fourth, which could have been found at 60/1 days out. Are there any more potential goldmines for bettors with the draft hours away and information swirling?
Here’s my breakdown of the 2023 NHL draft. 
NHL Draft picks and predictions
Matvei Michkov draft position: Under 5.5
Matvei Michkov is the biggest mystery in this year’s draft. He just finished a solid campaign in the KHL (Russia) with the worst team in the league Sochi HC (11-47 SU) where the winger had nine goals and 11 assists in 27 games. That might not seem like a lot, but per The Washington Post, that’s the best points-per-game rate by any draft-eligible Russian player from the KHL since 2008.   
Michkov loses some points in being a winger and the lack of time teams are getting with the Russia prospect, but thanks to the second-best offensive skillset in the draft, some mocks have him going as high as No. 2. According to @FriedgeHNIC, - Michkov is rising people don't think he'll go past Philly ???? - LA Kings still have the edge on Dubois, but the Habs could re-enter the race based on Michkov decision - The Habs could be willing to MOVE DOWN if they don't get the player they want. pic.twitter.com/XYvExs3GoO — Habs Fan TV (@habsfantv_) June 27, 2023 He is still under contract with SKA St. Petersburg until the end of the 2025-26 season, but his ceiling might make one Top 5 team take a chance since competing in 2023 might not be in the cards for the Blackhawks, Ducks, Blue Jackets, Sharks, or Canadiens. 
If any of the teams are going to take a swing on the winger, it’s likely going to be one of the teams in the No. 2 to No. 5 spots, and getting the +150 makes the risk a lot less.
With Columbus GM Jarmo Kekalainen mentioning he is going to draft a “franchise center” at No. 3, that would likely leave the Sharks and Canadiens to take the winger, and Montreal had an interview with him this week. Bob McKenzie (TSN), Scott Wheeler (The Atheltic), Corey Pronman (The Athletic), Craig Button (TSN), and many others all have Michkov going in the Top 5 in their final mocks.

WHL defenseman Tanner Molendyk’s Over 28.5 market might be juiced to -180, but there is still value there with my mock aggregate having an average of the 44th pick and a median of 45th.  Shame @nhlflyers don't have 2nd rounder (yet). Because while think 1st round Dmen are below average v usua...
