I'm still debating on whether Michkov or Celebrini will have more points this year. I think Michkov will be surrounded with better talent to help him produce, but I'm worried about Torts and what he might do. 😲

Still, I like what I see of Michkov so far.

I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited for another team’s prospect than him lol. Gonna be watching plenty of Philly games. Kid is a mutant.
Similar to Bedard being a must watch last year, that’s Michkov this year. Not too sure other teams have young guys with that kind of pull.

It’ll be interesting to see. I’m not sensing anywhere near the same kind of must watch hype as Bedard, but Michkov might catch many by surprise.

Torts just doesn’t want to answer questions about a kid who hasn’t played a game yet
Wouldn’t read anything into that comment
Erik Johnson commented on Michkov’s personality too. Said he’s outgoing and a funny guy and noted how that was unique in not only a rookie, but a Russian rookie

His playmaking is being severely slept on


I was just subtly razing ya.
Agree. I’ve been beating the drum for a while on his playmaking being his primary value

He is a Kucherov regen. His ability to create offense is exceptional.
Yep, this always been who he reminds me of. No superior physical ability, just controls the game with magician playmaking

He got outplayed in a pre-season game by Jett Luchanko against AHLers.... not a good look.
Luchanko was awesome and if the team was competing would most likely make the squad as a bottom 6, but that takes nothing away from Michkov.
