Is Michkov doing as expected?

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

being on pace for 70 points as a 19 year old russian player on a john tortorella team is pretty impressive even if 70 points is the new 50 points.

He's as advertised with some unexpected toughness/"fire."

The IQ is actually the most surprising thing... he has a real clear path to being a franchise player with how effortlessly he can create good scoring opportunities from difficult situations.

How many "superstars" are currently in the NHL in your opinion?

98 % of the NHL are "superstars"
1.9 % are "megastars"
0.1 % is Ovechkin

He will never be a Mcdavid level "dont care whos on my line i will just do it myself" type of superstar. But what he will be is an incredibly entertaining and talented player who will score a lot of points every season, especially if he gets someone that can play on his level in the middle. Im actually kinda sad that he isn't with prime Giroux, that duo would've been insane, both can pass and both can score.

McDavid is already if not close to a top 5 all time player, no one is ever that, once every 25 years maybe you get one of those guys lol.
