RW Matvei Michkov (2023, 7th, PHI) Part 5

I remember thread 1.

He'll be a good player

I posted some of his first videos, it was like yesterday... and boom, 5 years have passed.

7 pts, 6 on PP, -9. The trend continues.

Sick post, love how you poke in to cope and leave lol.

i think he will hit much higher totals than Giroux. However, I do think Giroux might have thrown up 120 today, on his best year....which isnt way off what i think Michkov is capable of

Agree, I watched Giroux since Gatineau, always thought he had PPG talent, Michkov is on a whole other level thus far in their development stages and also just raw talent at the same ages.

Michkov > Bedard

Michkov > Bedard

They were always in a 1A / 1B draft class, each of them do things better than the other, who knows who will be clearly better in the end. The crazy thing is I think Michkov might be able to be more effective at center, he’s like 63% in the dot rn, lmao, one win led to a goal

But bottom line, he needs the puck more.

I agree. He obviously can carry the puck (like 2:40 or 6:40 in this great video), but sometimes he gets stuck on the boards and just watches the game, like a modern-day Ovechkin on the power play. I don't know if it's his endurance problem or maybe coaching thing. I'd be interested to see him play center.
