Matvei Michkov: 9 points in first 8 NHL games

[HeadLiceHatty]

For me it’s the skating that separates them. Both are going to be elite players. It’s pretty clear to me that Bedard is just a little bit better.

Bedards skating makes it “clear” he’s better ? Kinda weird take, but everyone’s entitled to theirs. How do you evaluate IQ, board play, passing, stature and other aspects of hockey would be my main question. I definitely think Bedard skates better currently as well.

Well bedards release is better than Mathew’s. He has good vision and he skates almost as good as mcdavid.

Bedards play without the puck is under whelming so far but they are still kids. We will see. I think bedards going to be a 60 goal scorer.

I don’t think either one of them is dominant along the boards.


Michkov is better without the puck but bedards a far better skater. Maybe you’re right. But I still think bedards going to have a slightly better career.

We will see. Holler at me in 7 years :p

Really happy for him... I've always thought him and Bedard are heads above the rest of that very good draft class. I say he ends with around 50 points this season. Rookies in NHL have it tough... much longer season or injuries will derail him a bit.

Then, next year, he goes supernova and him and Bedard have a similar point total.. guessing around 120.

 

[authentic]

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.

So basically he’s better than Bedard then?

Wait.. what lol

 

[ItWasJustified]

I thought him and his agent told everyone to go fly a kite he would not be moving to their city any time soon

You thought wrong then. Better be less selective with what information you take in and learn to have a better source evaluation in the future.

 

[Fantomas]

He’s shooting 25% and relying on the PP for production but he’s gonna be good

Damn, if only other players realized they could "rely on the PP for production" they'd be as good as Michkov.

 

[JPT]

Yes Michkov has been a great PP specialist.

Even better

 

[Fantomas]

Imagine if Elias Pettersson realized he could "rely on the PP for production," he'd snap right out of his funk. Get to it, young man!

Bedard skates almost as good as McDavid? Pass what ever you smoking over here son, you got that good stuff. Also, laughable to say his release is better than 69 goal man (and 60 goal) Matthews. To continue though, Bedard's skating is nothing special. The player is special and he'll be a 100 point guy for years, but come on.

Generational

Imo McDavid amd Matthews are in another tier right now. But Michkov will be approaching that tier soon. Bedard I believe will never reach that level. His offensive production will not balance his lack of defence. I think he should be playing wing.

 

[McShogun99]

He should have went 2nd overall regardless of Russian factor or if he said he wouldn’t play for the team. His trade value would still be huge.

 

[McFlash97]

I’m sure he’ll hit a wall at some point but he’s been better than I expected. I was hoping for ~60 point season but maybe I should hope for more. Best Flyers rookie since Lindros

MM’s linemates, TK and Couts, with 5 points a piece. If they can keep up that kind of play it will be a hell of a line

Bedard does not skate in the universe of McDavid lol.

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Lmfao, cope more.


Watch Flyers games and realize what he really is, cool take though. "RELYING" lmfao, I guess you didn't take in last game where the Flyers completely dominated the first half of the 1st and in the 3rd because of Michkov and the Flyers first line took over the game against a 5-0 team. 5v5. Neat teenage PP specialist. You know when Metro teams chime in the hype is real, thanks bro. 12 points off Hughes rookie year total at 8 games, SURELY they'll have similar career's if Hughes can manage to stay healthy somehow.

Hughes was a year and a half younger in his rookie year as if that means something. I’m glad you’re giddy- Michkov looks like he’s gonna be a good player for you!

What about his 19 year old season?

Take a break, buddy. You’re embarrassing yourself

True 'nuff. Though, don't forget that EP40 did literally have 10 goals in his first 10 games.

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

Alexandre Daigle-like talent

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

wow you’re really upset, he very well may outperform Hughes 3rd season in the nhl as a rookie lol. Definitely not this year right? Like he is now.
