Prospect Info: Round 1, 7th overall: Matvei Michkov, RW, SKA St. Petersburg (KHL)

[Dr Jablonski PhD]

Did he play center today?

negative. As good as he looked at center in the preseason, I love him at wing. But they may still try him at C eventually this season. Probably only if injuries or significant line juggling

 

[Kshahdoo]

Could he realistically make the Flyers roster if he came to NA right now? Yeah, I know he won't come but just out of a pure curiosity.

On pure quality and merit yes. But this is a stupidly run team. A hideously stupid team.

I think he would make this years team, he would instantly make our power play better even if thats all he did

 

[Magua]

No chance he plays over Deslauriers.

they play opposite wings, Deslauriers is a natty left wing who else would you want riding shotgun with matvei. 4D chess.

The road to 700

 

[PDX Flyer]

On pure quality and merit yes. But this is a stupidly run team. A hideously stupid team.

At least he wouldn’t be healthy scratched when playing in home town in front of friends/family

 

[deadhead]

Neither would any Flyer if they averaged a ppg.

Yes they would.

 

[chadateit]

Yes they would.

Forest doesn't count as he only had 7 points in 8 games. Definitely not good enough to beat out the likes of Deslauriers.

 

[scumpup]

2 pts? in 18 mins played? yea hes a bust. Go next.

 

[Philly Fanatik]

I bet I’ll watch HC Sochi and Boston College games more than the Philly this year!
I just wish I understood the Russian play by play guys!

[Caser]

Apparently I found a way how to watch Sochi games legally and free, in case if anyone is interested:

Looks like Sochi games are officially and legally streamed by the regional tv channel Sochi 24, it is free and apparently not geoblocked too, the link to the channel stream is here (apparently the link is rather permanent too): Прямой эфир телеканала "Сочи 24 HD"

 

[chadateit]

The kid has the potential to be so ridiculously good. He sees the game in ways very few people do, and he has the skills to take advantage.

In Soviet Russia, advanced metrics collect you.




Sorry, I'll see myself out.

He's already thinking ahead on how to use ND over Michkov.

Putin.

Why do you even bother posting? It is obvious you have an agenda. Leave me out of it.
