RW Matvei Michkov - SKA-1946 St.Petersburg, MHL (2023 Draft) Part 2

[Kshahdoo]

When is he going to be full time in the KHL?

Hard to say. He needs to play a first preseason KHL game first. As far as I understand it will happen tomorrow.

 

[Atas2000]

When is he going to be full time in the KHL?

Not this season at least as he will spend a lot of time with the U20 NT.

First line with Kamenev & Kuzmenko in his senior debut. SKA is skating a young team.

 

[Kshahdoo]

And Chibrikov - Svechkov - Khusnutdinov line.

I loved that pass to Stromwall more, when the Swede was all alone in front of the net and couldn't score.

Michkov looks great. Probably leads SKA in shots on goal, hitted the post.

 

[MrGeno101]

And now he scored

 

[Atas2000]

And now he scored

And here we go. He just keeps scoring on every level.

I'm too lazy to look is it regular season or exhibition?

Weak goaltending but the goal highlights his great skating and vision.

I'm also wondering how the And Chibrikov - Svechkov - Khusnutdinov line looked.

The goalie expected a pass to that SKA player going to his net, Michkov shot instead. He scored quite a few similar goals before.

It's preseason of course, but the goalie is the former SKA starter.

Highlights from the game.



Svechkov line sequence starts at 1:01. Breakout pass by Brinkman. Chibrikov flies to the net, Khusnutdinov nearly finishes on the rebound. They did look good.

Michkov's crossbar on PP is at 1:17. Michkov did look good all game. Made some exceptional passes too.

Impressive KHL debut.

 

[Kshahdoo]

So today is his 2nd game for SKA at Puchkov's Memorial tournament. He'll play with Svechkov and Danila Moiseyev.

Love it. You like to see a little nastiness and edge to his game.

This kid is such a beauty, even with his KHL contract he’s an absolute no brainer to take 2nd overall after Bedard.

I really hope we have best-on-best international hockey on a regular basis seeing those two head to head will be so much fun for the next 15+ years.

Glad to see him off to a good start, looking forward to watching him at the WJC.

Well on his way to being arguably one of the best European prospects ever. His style of play translates well to the NHL game as well as I’ve noted in the past watching him. He intuitively attacks the middle of the ice really well and finds those prime scoring areas with ease at every level.

Thanks to the Russian posters keeping us updated on his play over in Russia, he’s a fun player to watch and already a household name in the hockey world. Lots of us are following his play closely.

Is he signed in the KHL beyond when he’ll be drafted?

Signed with SKA through 2025-26

Signed with SKA through 2025-26

Thanks for the info.

Wow, that’s a damn shame. The kid deserves the big stage right out of the gate. Hopefully his agent can find a way out of that contract when the time comes.

The chances of him buying his contract out are close to zero. He will honor his contract till the end of 25/26 season.

I'm actually not sure. His contract isn't that big. I think it's about bonuses. So buying it out won't be very expensive.
