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

Type better, or get critiqued, your post lacked clarity and your point if that’s what you really meant. If depth players could do that purposely then they would be on most teams top lines and PP1, you’re grasping at straws.

There are plenty of things separating Michkov from a 4th liner, and the decision to shoot for a rebound in that very commonplace situation was not one of them. This isn't complicated.

Are you pretending you’ve never heard the adage “just get it on net”? Thats what it means - shooting off a pad to create a rebound, shooting looking for a deflection/bounce/scramble, etc. It’s a common play taught since peewee.

Most players don't have the IQ to make that specific play work the way it did, you're looking more and more silly. Here's an example, you think the same thing happens when a guy like McDavid rolls into the slot with someone draped on his back vice a common 4th liner? Yeah, no. Michkov when you break down his game down makes really unreal intelligent plays on the fly, thats what makes him great. Really no reason to argue about it further, you're entitled to think as you wish. lol

Excited to see him play this season, every team who drafted after Chicago will regret not taking him. Not just the habs. Philly got lucky
