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

[drw13]

To go where? He was never 20-1 on any of my bookies, his odds to go second have just plummeted to 6-1

Bet 365 was 20 to 1 this morning
FanDuel was 23 to 1 this morning, 21 to 1 like 2 weeks ago

When people are talking about the change in odds, this is what they’re talking about. As talked about above, this doesn’t necessarily mean anything more than bookies adjusting odds to protect their profits based on bets coming in.

I’m not trying to call this a lock by any means, but with non public semi reliable information, it’s not crazy to think the second best player in the draft will go second. As I said, if you’re a gambler you take it at those prices

The widest I seen Michkov on Bet365 early this Afternoon was +450 to go #2, he was back down to +600 when I made that comment.

He's now -130 to go top 5.

The only "dramatic" change I've seen in odds are now with Will Smith being the favorite to go #3, that's something that might be worth a sprinkle.

I mean, at the very least those are some fanastic odds.

I wish I was quicker to the draw as there was no value left by the time I got around to seeing the odds up there, I did get some value on a couple of other plays though, but they're also long shots.

Welcome to Philadelphia

 

[Devilsfan118]

Really curious to see how this all goes

 

[CJV123]

Awesome for the Flyers.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Philly wins the draft, they get the second most talented kid in the draft at 7 and the catch is you have 3 years to rebuild before he comes over.

 

[Boxscore]

Flyers just won the draft, after Chicago.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

How dare the other GMs allow Michkov to fall this far. Now, I have to root against him for the rest of his career. Flyers got a hell of a player. Congrats.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

It's criminal how low this guy went.

 

[mercury]

As a Flyers fan, I accept the pain we are going to suffer over the next couple of years. There may actually be light at the end of this tunnel.

 

[TH1Pool]

Flyers just got a completely unexpected boost of life toward their rebuild. I can’t remember the last time they did anything to make me feel joy - and I know it’ll be fleeting as the season begins and we still suck and he’s still in Russia. But today, it feels good.

 

[PALE PWNR]

Hope

 

[CanadienShark]

Congrats Flyers. The writing was on the wall, but you got a stud because my teams f***ed up (+ Arizona). I hope he does well for you guys.

 

[Dominance]

Flyers at least have a timeline now, instead of toiling in mediocrity. They should trade Hart and Konecny so that they can bottom out next year, and then be on the upswing of the rebuild when this guy comes over.

Happy for their fans. It’s been a rough go.

 

[The Burdened]

Michkov is Manna from Heaven. There is hope.

 

[ViD]

Had someone told me Michkov wouldn’t be the first Russian picked in this draft…

 

[LuGBuG]

So I have question. He is at the draft. Seems very happy to be picked. Why sign a KHL contract for so long? Is money the reason? I truly don’t understand so if anyone can explain to me thanks.

 

[Fantomas]

Perfect situation for Michkov. Glad he's not going to the Habs.

 

[Caser]

So I have question. He is at the draft. Seems very happy to be picked. Why sign a KHL contract for so long? Is money the reason? I truly don’t understand so if anyone can explain to me thanks.

First reason is to get some decent money and not peanuts even while he is in the MHL. Second I think that back then he kept in mind the 2026 Olympics. And third thing is that it is not a secret that SKA gives more opportunities to the ones, who are committed long-term.

 

[vildurson]

Some pervert mind from my head wants to see how Michkov and Tortorella would work out. Would be guaranteed entertainment

What were the odds that he wouldn’t be the first Russian drafted and how much did the GM of the Yotes win on that?

 

[Redpath]

The Flyers met with him secretly at Flyers HQ this week. We clearly got our guy.

 

[Gravity]

Congrats Flyers fans. You can definitely hang this over head in retaliation for York over Caufield for the next 10 years.
