Leading the NHL in pre-season scoring right now aha.

6 points in 3 games.

Slow start to life in NA.

Russian stud

 

[Frank Drebin]

gonna be a stud looks like

 

[Devonator]

Man oh man.....looks like the Flyers best prospect since Lindros!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Need to get him a better number then 39 tbh. Kid is a star though.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Will be watching flyers games this year for this kid

 

[Kshahdoo]

Pre-season games mean nothing, but I hope he'll continue to score in the regular. And the more important thing than his points is his ability to create offense out of nothing. Every time he has the puck you expect something will happen.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Superstar in the making. And most of us aren't surprised.

I lost a ton of money betting on that draft with Michkov under 5.5 draft position. Despite the smoke I refused to believe GM's would actually let him fall out of the top 5. Insanity then and will only look worse over time.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

What a stud , imagine passing over this kid!

 

[Gregor Samsa]

How many points are you guessing for his rookie year?

 

[jj cale]

Well we knew he was good.

 

[HockeyVirus]

He's ok but when you can draft Bustbacher ahead of him you gotta do it

 

[Ghost of Murph]

I don't put much stock in preseason game performances. Good preseason or not, Michkov was always going to be an excellent NHLer. Kid is going to make waves at some point. Flyers have a gem.

 

[Madap]

Terrible defence. Reinbacher would have defended that one better.

 

[Jovavic]

When is it too early to draft him in a ten team league? 5th round ok?

Not insane when you consider:
1. He's a winger;
2. He's Russian; and
3. He skipped a bunch of team interviews.

 

[Danarqhy]

PPG+ season incoming, people will be debating Michkov vs Bedard all over again by this season's end.

Let's not pollute this thread with the Reinbacher talk, that guy might need two seasons in the AHL before he becomes a serviceable TOP4 or TOP6D in the NHL LOL.

 

[Leafidelity]

Pretty fortunate to find a player like that at 7th overall

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

Need to get him a better number then 39 tbh. Kid is a star though.

My thought also. That just doesn't look good.

 

[Fatass]

How many points are you guessing for his rookie year?

I was thinking 80 but he could be already a 100 point player. My goodness he’s a special player. I feel for the fans of teams who passed at the draft on him. He’s beyond his draft class, including the latest Canadian hero.

 

[ozzie]

It's pre season, lets pump the brakes on this kid. Showing a lot of promise and potential for sure, but very different games, then comes playoffs. Definitely looking like a bargin pick-up for the Flyers and luck has been on their side.

Before anyone jumps all over me, I wasn't that impressed with Bedard's first season which was a bit of a let down after his CHL and WJC performances. Size still matters and both players are similar in that regard.

I'm pulling for both of them to be scoring machines and entertain crowds for years to come. MM seems to be adjusting nicely though.

When a player sees the ice like him and makes plays like he does that creates time and space for him to score too. He’s beyond exceptional. Phenom?

 

[BullyHockey]

Flyers have needed a player like him for a long while.

 

[Jovavic]

Korpse barely moved, get used to that B's fans
