LW Matvei Petrov (2021, 180th, EDM)

[snipes]

Russia took zero players in N/A so I wouldn’t stress too hard over it - they even left Kuznetsov and Chayka off the roster who are returning players.

Would have been nice to get a good look live at him playing but yeah, the reality of the times with Covid.

He still has another year of eligibility after this year as well.

What a tremendous pick he has turned into, Dubas being greedy is the only reason we had this pick and I’m so glad we picked him. I’ve been big on him right from when he was drafted but he’s exceeding all expectations.

For those who've watched this player; realistically, what does he project as?

To my eyes. 1st/2nd line winger.

A guy who works hard, is as good as passer as a shooter.
Not a floater.

2021 had really good 6th rounders, not just Petrov as a huge steal.

to mention the absolute best of the rest 6th rounders : Safonov, Arcuri, Lockheart, Knak, Novikov
Safonov is having awesome season in the KHL as an 18 year old, Novikov has played 30+
games in the KHL this season, as an 18 year old, Knak is playing in his 2nd NL season
already, Arcuri been really good for the Frontenacs this season and Lockheart as well for the Otters.

Comtinuing his dominant season, arguably the best player in the OHL.

 

[McFlash97]

This guy might be the best player in the OHL. NHL bound next season.

1st liner is a massive praise, consider whos to compete with. But good, then we dont need to trade for a forward. Next year is gonna be gooood. Holloway, Petrov, Borgault, Savoie competing for roosterspot.
That would fill out voids.

Highly unlikely

Just another amazing goal, no biggie....

Crazy assist by Mathurin

Indeed. But pretty sick hand eye coordination ala Petrov as well

After missing several games (which Battalion lost BTW)
Petrov returns and scores 3 points (2 goals).

Best player in the OHL, his stock has shot up since he was drafted

Petrov with an OT game winner tonight.

2 goals tonight again.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Coe looks like a new player with Petrov back lol.

That line shreds the OHL apart when they’re together.

Petrov is so good.

I don't think many Oilers fans even understand how good of a player, prospect they have.

How far away do you think he might be in terms of being a NHL player?
