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

[Appleyard]

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

6 points in 3 games.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

How many points are you guessing for his rookie year?

 

[jj cale]

Well we knew he was good.

 

[Jovavic]

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

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.

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.

2023 is going to go down as such a good draft. Jesssssus

65 give or take 10 points.

Depends on your league rules, straight up points in a single year league maybe he is a bet to take 50th but someone will take him too soon IMO.

Will be a great player for the Flyers this season. Hoping to see him live at Wells Fargo this year (Habs fan leaving in Philly)

How many points are you guessing for his rookie year?

Some people are going to say real high numbers. I'm going to stick with a range of 50-75. The hype train is rolling hard right now and while I believe he is capable of exceeding that amount I think it is still probably best to set realistic expectations.

If he exceeds my realistic expectation that is dope. However, if I set the bar at 82 and he comes in at 65, that is a recipe for disappointment in what was actually terrific rookie production that should be applauded.

Also, his performance in preseason will lead to teams keying in on him in the regular season. Boston already did key in on him in this game. They were all over him physically. It literally led to Couturier dropping the mitts. The point here is his preseason performance has been noticed and if he is deemed a threat to the Flyers opponent's chance of winning teams will prepare to the best of their ability to stop him.

In conclusion, I hope he produces at an all star level, but I do not expect that out of a 19 year old. Possible, but not expected.

When I watch him on PP I instantly get Kuch vibe, nearly every pass creates a scoring opportunity
