Michkov officially broke Kucherov's record. Two more games to go in regular season. Maybe he will get to 40 goals. Chances are very good.
If the NHL Network wishes to use the clips from the Olympics, they can buy the rights from the IOC like any other television network is doing.There is literally no incentive for the NHL: can't use the clips to promote anything, take on all the risks of player injuries
Yeah you're right, and I guess it works both ways ; a KHL team can't sign a player with a valid NHL contract. But couldn't the NHL team that drafts him just get him to "retire" from the KHL before signing him to a multi-year deal? Then again, that would seem damn near criminal wouldn't it? ... SKA would never do such a thing. ...... hmmmmmm... I seem to remember some guy with a long term contract in New Jersey.
LOL What incentive? Whay should anyone give the NHL anything there? It is the most important sports event on the planet. In fact by the logic of the olympic movement greedy pro-leagues like the NHL should be prohibited from using any material from the Olympics for "promotion" i.e. making money purposes. That's the whole problem with America. Everything revolves around money. The NHL should be punished for it's behavior and USA and Canada should not be allowed to participate in IIHF events until the NHL stops sabotaging the Olympics.There is literally no incentive for the NHL: can't use the clips to promote anything, take on all the risks of player injuries
But the KHL is pretty terrible for European leagues and hockey too, so there's that.
My Time machine says me, because of this 3 years he was in KHL and not NHL, he couldnt broke Alexander Oveckin goal-scoring record. Still, be 3. best scorer in the NHL history is a good achievement.
I think we’re getting faar too ahead of ourselves here talking about best goalscorer in NHL history . Let’s wait until he plays in the NHL or even the KHL first before even thinking about all this
MHL Regular season 2020/21 just finished. Michov, being still 16, finished 1st with 38 goals. Impressive.
If healthy, he should be there.Will we see him at the U18 championship?
If healthy, he should be there.
By points per games played in the MHL among 2002 born and younger he is 7th behind
Khusnutdinov
Ovchinnikov
Kisakov
Aimurzin
Pashin
Yurov
Needless to say he is the by far youngest of the group and the league's top goal scorer two ahead of Kisakov in five less games played. He is easily the best goal scorer available which is most remarkable given that he is a double underager in that group.
McDavid went as a double underager and absolutely torched the U18s, he completely destroyed the competition as a double underager. It was kind of his introduction to the international hockey world.
Wouldn't be surprised if Michkov gets a similar opportunity given the reports coming out of Russia on him. From what I've seen, he is one of hell of a hockey player and his style of play will transfer well on the small ice when he eventually comes over. He has elite level hockey IQ and intuitively attacks the middle of the ice creating dangerous scoring opportunities. He's far from just a perimeter type player.
Yeah, he's pretty similar to Kaprizov, but not as tough. On the other hand, he probably has even better IQ, hands, shot and skating, which sounds ridiculous, but he's that talented.
People tend to underestimate traveling factor in the MHL and its impact on players.
Just for your information, SKA-1946 and Michkov played vs Sakhalin Sharks in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Distance between the cities is 6,662 km. For a perspective, distance between Anchorage and Miami is 6,434 km, and it's just 5,567 km between New York and London.
So I'd say, MHL players are way better prepared for NHL traveling, than CHLers, let alone Swedes or Finns.
did they travel by plane?
