RW Matvei Michkov (2023, 7th, PHI) Part 6

[FlyguyOX]

You can tell these bozos pushing the "Michkov is a mess defensively" narrative dont actually watch him play. He was fine defensively all season, especially for a rookie. They just take the handful of examples of Michkov taking calculated risks leaving the zone early that didnt work out and extrapolate that into a judgement on his entire game. What I saw from Michkov most of his rookie season was a winger that works to get the puck back when his team doesnt have it.

His work on the boards was impressive.

A long way to get there. Kuch is underrated defensively

All the analytics and eye test in the world say otherwise lol

Hopefully he works on his height, maybe grow a couple of inches in the off season. He also needs to work on his skating badly. He needs to fix these 2 major flaws in his game, if not he will end up being nothing special.

A very accurate post, from a very intelligent poster, well done lol.

Hopefully Michkov will be a much better player when (if) the Flyers make the playoffs. I think maybe when he’s 25 he will see his first playoff action. What do you think?

Sorry, no idea. Busy working on my height.
