You clearly feel some sort of way about him, and that's okay.
I feel he’s a good young player with some serious flaws, just like I suspected at draft time. Him being a power play merchant on a shit team through a handful of games hasn’t changed my mind.
I'll keep enjoying his success (and same for Demidov, who I am a big fan of).
Regarding the post you quoted and linked, where was the lie?

It's just a juniors
It's just KHL
It's just preseason
It's just PP <- you're here
It's just regular season
...
It's just Stanley Cup, no big deal, my team has 24 of them.
You missed "It's only [secondary] assists, he has muffin shot" somewhere in there.

Lmao that’s great coming from you 😂. I’ve got nothing to cope for. My team didn’t take Michkov, and I didn’t want them to take him before the draft. Can’t speak for all Habs fans, but that’s the reality for me. The fanboys really took offense to that for some reason. Whether that’s right or wrong remains to be seen, but he’s looking like pretty much exactly what I expected, and why I didn’t want him, i.e., a good offensive winger with some serious flaws and deficiencies in his game. Keep revelling in those powerplay points though.
You was wrong, your team was wrong. It’s okay to admit mistakes, especially when they are so huge.

MM now a plus four this game. Is this his first game with Coutorier and Koneckny? That line is fantastic!

Yep. Torts hates logic, so he decided to try the captain at 4LW, a position I don't think he's ever played, before considering having him center Michkov.

MM very much the straw that stirred the drink today, even when he was ending up with tertiary assists because of additional tips and things like that. Hell of a game for everyone, but a lot of that doesn't happen without Matvei.

It’s been a blender . He’s looked good w Frost too , problem being he’s weak on draws . Konecny is a really underrated player. Main guy that isn’t meshing w him is Tippet . The hockey iq difference is astounding

Oh yeah, without a doubt, wouldn't of been shocking if he had 5-6 points this game, just a couple extra tips made it not so, he was making the plays that setup most of what happened. Konecny had a hell of a game too.

Man, those 2 points really don't tell the whole story of Michkov's game, he basically started nearly all of the Flyers attacks that ended up with goals.

Not to overhype the kid, but he looked better than Kaprizov today (the same Kaprizov who is leading the league in points rn). If this line with Couturier and Konecny is half as good as this game teases, we're going to see some fireworks.

You seem mistaken. I never liked the Reinbacher pick either; hated it the moment it was announced. That has nothing to do with my opinions on Michkov, so I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove.

It's not as unlikely as you think.
If/when it happens, we can have the “generational” conversation about Michkov, like I said.

I feel sorry for Michkov because Philly is a dead team. Their prospect pool really sucks. it's not SJ or Anaheim or even Chicago. They need at least top 3 pick in the next couple of years, ideally win the lottery in 2026

Lol, we’re 9 games in; we’ll see. It may well have been a mistake (passing on Michkov). Obviously I’ve been wrong before, not a big deal. But my point is that my opinions and views on him have nothing to do with the Habs passing on him, like the fanboys in here keep trying to suggest. Like I said, I do think the Reinbacher pick was a mistake, and have since it was made.

Remind what would your pick have been then? If it's not Michkov and not Reinbacher.

Honestly it’s the first game that I see players some what adapting to his IQ. Other games he seemed to be processing at pace that they weren’t used to

He’s only 19. If he’s as good as all of us think, they’ll be able to trade for or sign or maybe draft a few stars to play with him, and provide the needed support to make sure it’s not only him.

They could’ve made it easier, but the hardest part is acquiring the best talents in the world. Every team in the league wants them, and very few exist. Much easier to acquire the less good players.
