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

Caught the game this aft. Ouch, sorry for your loss.

lol swing and a miss . Drebin and Backfamous will be in shambles if he has a successful year .

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.

Shocking that most people don’t have those trolls on ignore, let them talk to themselves. It’s Michkov jealousy though, they’re secret fanboys.

 

[Bottomshelf]

Loved his ability to slow it down to his pace, not that he’s slow at all but he was often in control of the tempo of the play, cerebral attack for sure. Kind of reminds me of Zetterburg

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

His playmaking is being severely slept on


I was just subtly razing ya.

All good my man hehe. I’m simply stoked for DR.

The scary part about players like Michkov is that they can have mediocre games and still show up all over the score sheet. He has the ability to play that quiet game that makes dmen forget about him, then he gets the puck for two seconds and the puck is in your net.

Imagine this guy if he's able to improve his skating in the next few years.

And hopefully the nonsensical narrative that he's not an elite passer will soon be put to rest. He's a better passer than he is a shooter.

Good take, his passing is absurd, it gets masked by his wicket shot, I kinda had a feeling he’d win a few rockets before tbh, but he’s so good at passing that when he sees NHL talents burying his passes I’m not sure he’ll ever shoot enough to win a rocket. Maybe an odd year he guns for it though. It’s too early to tell though.
