Russian stud

 

[Frank Drebin]

gonna be a stud looks like

 

[Devonator]

Man oh man.....looks like the Flyers best prospect since Lindros!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Need to get him a better number then 39 tbh. Kid is a star though.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Will be watching flyers games this year for this kid

 

[Kshahdoo]

Pre-season games mean nothing, but I hope he'll continue to score in the regular. And the more important thing than his points is his ability to create offense out of nothing. Every time he has the puck you expect something will happen.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Superstar in the making. And most of us aren't surprised.

I lost a ton of money betting on that draft with Michkov under 5.5 draft position. Despite the smoke I refused to believe GM's would actually let him fall out of the top 5. Insanity then and will only look worse over time.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

What a stud , imagine passing over this kid!

 

[HockeyVirus]

He's ok but when you can draft Bustbacher ahead of him you gotta do it

 

[Ghost of Murph]

I don't put much stock in preseason game performances. Good preseason or not, Michkov was always going to be an excellent NHLer. Kid is going to make waves at some point. Flyers have a gem.

 

[Madap]

Terrible defence. Reinbacher would have defended that one better.

Not insane when you consider:
1. He's a winger;
2. He's Russian; and
3. He skipped a bunch of team interviews.

 

[Danarqhy]

PPG+ season incoming, people will be debating Michkov vs Bedard all over again by this season's end.

Let's not pollute this thread with the Reinbacher talk, that guy might need two seasons in the AHL before he becomes a serviceable TOP4 or TOP6D in the NHL LOL.

 

[Leafidelity]

Pretty fortunate to find a player like that at 7th overall

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

My thought also. That just doesn't look good.

When a player sees the ice like him and makes plays like he does that creates time and space for him to score too. He’s beyond exceptional. Phenom?

 

[BullyHockey]

Flyers have needed a player like him for a long while.

 

[Jovavic]

Korpse barely moved, get used to that B's fans

 

[PajamaBoy]

How was this even a discussion Michkov, Bedard Celebrini class of their own. Demidov a level or two below. Which is still elite. But question answered

37 saves on 40 shots, I’ll take that.

all relatively meaningless when the talent is a tier or multiple tiers above the non-Bedard selections

Canceling or no-showing a team interview will land a player on the Do Not Draft list...

he looked terrible on that goal. Like how I used to look on those 11:15 pm wednesday games.

37 saves on 40 shots, I’ll take that.

good in a pinch.

 

[PajamaBoy]

Imagine passing on this player. Should have gone 2
