RW Matvei Michkov (2023, 7th, PHI) Part 4

[ValeriKamensky]

First they call Michkov “2nd best player of draft” and even “equal to Bedard”. Than they said “there is no offensive help to him in the Flyers”.
Pls stop. 2nd best player should level up attack of team which drafted him, doesn’t he?
Or maybe he is just a no 2nd best player,

 

[Shark Finn]

Cannot wait to see this guy play in NA. He's going to be the 2nd best player in the draft, such a steal.

What a deal for Philly if he makes it over this upcoming season, too.

Steal as in telling teams he doesn't want to play for them? Sure.

 

[Guadana]

Steal as in telling teams he doesn't want to play for them? Sure.

Its just a way how people will tell to feel better.

 

[BradMarchandismydad]

Steal as in telling teams he doesn't want to play for them? Sure.

Steal as in he was the 7th overall pick and is going to make picks 2-6th look like benders

Most people seriously don't understand Torts. They think he punishes skilled guys, but realistically, he just wants to see them bring it. Frost is the perfect example of a guy who brings it 50% of the time, and coasts the rest. That is what Torts f***ing hates, if he knows you should be "the guy", but you just coast and aren't elevating your game to where you should be, he sits your ass.

Michkov is an absolute gamer, Torts will absolutely love his dedication, and always being ready to go. If he does come over this Summer, they really should be looking at that RW situation and try to make a hockey trade for a C though.

Yeah, Michkov's competitiveness will be liked by NHL coaches for sure. Of course he sometimes tends to make risky moves, but who of U21 younsters don't? And Matvei is still 19. I'm sure his IQ will help him to overcome such problems and get into the NHL game as soon as possible.

Another thing is Michkov loves to provoke opponents to do stupid things, which is considered unsportsmanlike conduct by many fans, experts and even coaches. But Marchand has been doing such things for years, and Boston public love him.

Yup, all athletes make mistakes, but its what you do next that is crucial in the minds of coaches. There will be turn overs, bungled plays, all of that will happen in the NHL for Michkov....but does he come out next shift and make a difference? More times than not, he does.

Yeah warming up to the idea of trading away Konecny.

At some point too many is too many with TK,OT, TF, old guy Atkinson plus prospects Brink, Tuomaala, Gendron.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Hope he comes over sooner than later.

Also those who are mad that torts might coach him are funny. A guy like Michkov can learn alot from torts on what it takes to be a pro in NA

Exactly. Make mistakes but as long as you're going balls to the wall and learn from them it's ok. I'm glad he pushed York, too.

Someone on hfboards said something, ergo Michkov is no good. Great logic, sport!

 

[FlyguyOX]

It would be pretty funny if Michkov was in the NHL before Smith Reinbacher and Simashev

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Steal as in he was the 7th overall pick and is going to make picks 2-6th look like benders

How do you know?

 

[BradMarchandismydad]

How do you know?

I was born gifted with the powers of foresight and general psychic ability

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

If he’s in the NHL before those players, all the arguments about he won’t come soon enough are instantly nullified.

 

[Dr Jablonski PhD]

Coming to an NHL team near you ... hopefully. I still believe he was significantly impacted by the pneumonia this season. It's not a coincidence that he looked way more explosive and high effort in September and early October

Yeah the first best player of the draft surely set the Blackhawks offense on a whole new level

IIHF levies sanctions against Flyers goalie Ivan Fedotov, CSKA Moscow and Russian Federation

What does this mean, if anything, for top prospect Matvei Michkov?

www.dailyfaceoff.com

Will these sanctions have any impact on the Flyers to potentially bring over Michkov? Technically, the two are unrelated, though it’s impossible to say what the reaction will be in the KHL and across Russia with the heavy sanctions. Michkov is under contract with SKA St. Petersburg, a different club, through the 2025-26 season.

The Flyers would love to get their hands on their top prospect, Michkov, who is one of the top players currently not playing in the NHL. Michkov was loaned by SKA to HC Sochi this season, where he collected 19 goals and 41 points in 47 games as a 19-year-old. Daily Faceoff‘s Steven Ellis pointed out that Michkov fell one point short of Kirill Kaprizov’s record production for a U20 player in KHL history, and he did so despite an unusual set of challenges.

NHL teams are not permitted to communicate directly with KHL club officials regarding players under contract. But the belief is third party officials, including Michkov’s agents, are in touch with SKA St. Petersburg about Michkov’s future, where it is possible to negotiate a settlement or buyout of his current contract, which would pave a path for him to arrive in Philadelphia ahead of schedule.

IIHF and NHL are different organizations, though...

Maybe he means they haven't talked to him in person? On the other hand can NHL clubs talk to players who are on contracts in other leagues at all?

He says it jokingly clearly
