RW Matvei Michkov (2023, 7th, PHI) Part 4
- Thread starter GermanSpitfire
- Start date
I'm pretty sure you haven't watched a lot of his games, probably most of them...
I watched his games in necessary amounts, but let's grant you that point for the argument sake.
So what follows? I have called him one of the most if not the most talented player in his draft class. If I watched him more would I change my mind? Maybe he would become taller in my eyes? Or maybe his skating would become Fedorovesque?
You've noticed at least that his skating is pretty Crosbyesque.
Michkov is dangling out there this first period. He is due for a big game. Annnnnd he just scored. Tap in. Love it.

Hopefully SKA's coach is up for presenting the award to him!

What a dominant 1st period. Scored a goal, created several good opportunities and literally skated through his opponents. MM is looking more and more confident in the K.
Came here just to say this. Kid walked like half Severstal on the powerplay. He is feeling it today. I will be shocked if he doesn't score more than 1

He shows how actually good his skating is. He doesn't even need stick to walk opponents. His edge work and body work is crazy even if he isn't the fastest player on the ice.

Best drafted prospect that won’t be in the NHL this season. Easily.
Easy goal for sure, but you have to be in the right place to score
Pity he isn't in the NHL, could be an interesting competition of 18 yo kids.
Wow 2 high scoring chances created in 10 seconds

its gonna be a damn shame this kid doesnt get to play with G
Michkov and Bedard look great, Fantilli is very solid for Columbus, I’m hearing Carlsson is also impressing for Anaheim.
Might be an epic draft in history books

That Powerplay Highlight. He went through every position of the power play dangling, spinning, skating through defenders. Setting up his teammates

Yeah someone upthread compared him to Gaudreau, and now that it's been said, I can't see it. They both find the right spots at exactly the perfect time to make it seem 'easy'
Can't imagine how good he's going to be in 2026. Probably the next 100 point rookie after Crosby/Ovi.

I think that he's really starting to look more comfortable on the ice in these recent games.
It's probably a benefit to that he has a starting role and doesn't feel like he has to play as safe to keep it.

Could've had 4 points today. It really feels like he's going to keep up the point per game pace. And I felt today there was a change in his play. He had more of a star mentality in that he knew he's the one responsible for turning every play into a scoring chance
How crazy is it that he has 11 pts in 9 games and he's still transforming his game to new levels
