Colby Barlow will be the next OHL exceptional player status. And he’ll be drafted top 10 in the NHL draft. So good, you have to watch him to see how good he is.

At least Arttu Alasiurua as well. The Scouting News said that he's a top 20 forward.

Maxim Strbak (2005) should play for Jokerit Helsinki U16 next year. I think good move for him.

Finland seems to have become quite a development destination for Slovak and maybe Czech players(including very young ones). I was going over the game sheets from the Finnish junior leagues' opening weekend and was surprised by how many Slavic names there were. And most of the time when I checked their eliteprospects page these kids had played previously in Slovakia, so they aren't the Finnish-born sons of central-European immigrants.

That's the product of having a good development system. Other countries who don't have quite as good structure and facilities start jumping on board. It's a good thing. But hopefully the Slovaks can turn it around and get their development systems on track.

Michkov looks better so far, than any Russian player ever at this age (14 yo).

What sorts of fees would parents of these kids be paying the Finnish clubs at this age? High level hockey is expensive enough, but when a kid goes from Czechia and Slovakia to a country with(I assume) a much higher cost of living, just covering room and board for the kid would be hard, especially in one of the larger Finnish cities.

I've been lead to believe that he teams cover quite a bit of the costs in most European countries. It's not like Canada or the US.

Czech Radek Koblizek moved here as a kid (15y), lenghty article from last summer about his experience here:

Radek Koblizek - "Be patient!"

A logical concern for these cases would be if the coaches are more biased towards the Finnish players for ice time. In North America this is typically not the case everything is driven by money and winning but I'm not sure how it is in Finland/Europe.

Cheers and thanks. I was spelling his first name "Matvey" should have known to check other spellings.

NO problem, but I heard that Swedes would like to get him citizenship so he could represent Sweden.. as a Slovak fan I hope this will not happen.
