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

[Kshahdoo]

True, he probably never leaves the ice with Varyagi. Still , I expected him to go to the VHL as much lesser prospects are getting KHL/VHL time.

Yeah, it looks like.

This guy should not be in this league. It's not fair for the other teams

Good experience for them and good chance to have a lot of ice-time for him, so win-win basically. But I hope they will move him to VHL soon.

Is he one of those guys who matured physically well ahead of his peers, and against men we are seeing what he really is? Is he going to develop more, or is he done growing?

Not a chance.

Lol, I'd say he's behind his peers physically. His game is all about skill and IQ.

he looks small even among his mhl peers.

He was like 5'9 140 last year in the MHL when he was dominating

 

[Atas2000]

Why is he playing on Varyagi instead of SKA-1946 St. Petersburg?

Why not? It's the same league. I don't care which one of the SAK teams he is on. What I do care about is why oh why isn't he in the VHL.

 

[Atas2000]

Is he one of those guys who matured physically well ahead of his peers, and against men we are seeing what he really is? Is he going to develop more, or is he done growing?

He is physically a smallish 16 year old. Against men we are seeing what we should be seeing that even a generational talent is at 16 not able to come through against grown men bodies. He has not even started developing really. Most prospects at this age are outside the view of the casual HF crowd anyway. You are making the mistake of measuring him against much older guys subconciously I guess. If he was 18-19 and would dominate juniors, but struggle against men, then the development question of yours might be relevant.

Dominating juniors that much at 16 is an achievement in itself. I expect him to have a dominant last part of the season after the WJC.

 

[NatusVincere]

1 + 2 with a shorthander goal. Great game, was dangerous almost every shift.

Michkov's 2.2 PPG are by far the highest rate of any a U18 player ever (with at least 5 games played). But I wouldn't be surprised if he can maintain his pace till season end (something around 2 PPG). Kuznetsov had a really strong short stint in the MHL, but I think Kucherov's 1.41 PPG over 40 games are to beat if Michkov can play in the MHL for so long this Season. Perevalov and specially Kantserov will come down to earth.

 

[SoundAndFury]

My main takeaway from this is how insanely well Perevalov is doing. He has almost double the points than anyone else on the team and those Loko teams are deeeeep, even someone like Denisenko was never able to go above PPG.

Dunno, Kantserov looked really, really good in the games against the Czechs recently and Perevalov is the real deal, while obviously no Michkov. They might not maintain the wild PPG pace, but they will be around the top I'm sure.

 

[Kshahdoo]

He isn't playing for Varyagi right now. Hope it means he'll play tomorrow vs Zvezda in the VHL.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Well, he played for Varyagi again, got just 2 assists.

Both assists were superb, actually. First he helped Demidov to score his 1st MHL goal on PP and second he set his teammate up on the GWG.

His average TOI this season in the MHL is 23:13.

 

[Kshahdoo]

The last Michkov's game highlights. He's 39 as always. So many great passes from him to his teammates and just 2 points (on 4th and 5th goals).

 

[Kshahdoo]

Btw interesting statistics. Varyagi overal are 8-1-1-8, Varyagi with Michkov are 5-0-0-1.

 

[SoundAndFury]

That's what they call a "game-breaking ability".

Well, it's like putting McDavid on the Oilers

 

[Kshahdoo]

2+2 playing for SKA-1946. 10+7 after 7 games.

Nothing about him all week?
