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

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.How many points are you guessing for his rookie year?
65 give or take 10 points.How many points are you guessing for his rookie year?
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.When is it too early to draft him in a ten team league? 5th round ok?
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.How many points are you guessing for his rookie year?
Yeah, a teenage rookie on a new continent that speaks a different language and a different culture, in the best league in the world…I doubt he’ll be getting ~80, especially on a middling offense like the Flyers. As a Flyers fan I’d love it but PPG is like Crosby, McDavid territory. I’m hoping for 60-70, which would still be incredible. I just hope Flyer and Michkov fans don’t hold him to impossible standards only to be disappointed when he doesn’t reach themSome people are going to say real high numbers.

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.
If he stays healthy, I'd say 55-60.How many points are you guessing for his rookie year?
There’s literally zero chance you’re a Flyers fan, lmao your posts are an absolute joke lol. Also, you told me MM couldn’t shoot what was that OT laser? LmaoThings like this aren't said very much about superstars, or guys that have been hyped for their Michigan
I think Michkov first expressed that he had picked some stuff from Crosby's style of play even earlier, years before the draft.Ive noticed Michkov's game became more 'bullish' after Rotenberg played him at center during last year's preseason.
Michkov then said he started studying how Sidney Crosby played.
As a Pens fan, Montreal and Arizona/Utah can both go f*ck themselves. It didn’t have to be like this. This guy is going to be torching us for years.
