Why not better than that ?

Seriously?

Homerish, but if Philly didn't have a horrendously bad string of wide-open net misses, then Michkov is in the top-10 in points this year, so far.

That's even being very generous, because there are at least 7 notable freebies that were whiffed on where it's not even a question that an average NHL player would hit most of those.

Bedard has the much better skating, hands, and shot. The combination of being undersized + not the greatest skater is tough to overcome, so I could see him taking a while to really reach his potential. The fact he's producing like this in spite of that, shows how good he is; but I honestly thought he'd look a little better by the eye test than he has. His best asset is by far is hockey IQ. He doesn't have the most elite tools, reminds me a bit of a forward version of Adam Fox.

It doesn’t matter. Fans of teams that have either won’t likely complain. But imagine being a fan of a team who passed on one of them. They probably don’t care very much when it comes to rolling their ‘R’s.

Lmaooo, another Montreal fan, desperate to tell us how great Demidov is in a Michkov thread, he does nothing offensively better than Michkov to create goals. There’s no world where I’d rather have Demidov with the puck on his stick vice Michkov to score a hockey goal in a passing or shooting situation, different level talents. Same as he’s clearly behind Celebrini and Bedard in talent.

Here you are talking about the Habs yet again. You got a little crush there licey?

As a hockey fan we are blessed that Montreal did not get the opportunity to ruin Michkov’s development

I am not surprised that Michkov refused to play for montreal, Montreal cannot develop their lottery picks: Kotkaniemi, slaf, reinbacher etc. all of them looking like the wrong pick shortly after joining the habs

Oh boy do I have some news for you about how Flyers players "develop".

What shot advantage? If you go by their recent shot effectiveness, Michkov has it better

I don't just go by recent advantage, too fluctuative and Bedard was in a long slump (but slowly heating up now)

Bedard's shot is lethal.

It's in a class of its own. Sakic on steroids.

 

[wetcoast]

considering he was considered second only to bedard (or even as good) doesnt shock me. woe to those who didnt take him when they had the chance.,

Not so fast and even though I would have picked him 2nd after bedard the Ducks and Jackets picks are still acceptable so far and in projection.

Aww, you mean how y’all to get me out of the Demidov thread because the truth hurts . Incase you had difficulty reading my post it was a response to yet another Habs fans trying to force feed Demidov in a Michkov thread, reading is tough, cope.
