Shane Wright vs. Connor Bedard vs. Matvei Michkov

[acrobaticgoalie]

Isn’t Bedard 5’9”? He can still grow obviously, but if stays at that height it’ll be hard for him to become a top 3 centre in the league, which is what you would need to project him as to rank him ahead of Wright. Wright seems like a sure thing at this point.

Brayden Point is 5'9

Bedard but Michkov is closing quick.

There was no gap between them for Michkov to close in the first place.

 

[McRpro]

Brayden Point is 5'9

And not a top 3 center.

Any team would be happy with a Point type player but Bedard has/had generational hype.

If you have the best skill on the planet (relative to age) it doesn't matter how tall you are.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Who cares about his height? He just turned 16 in July.

 

[Canovin]

Gretzky 5'10
Crosby 5'11

Gretzky is 6ft

Michkov won scoring titles in direct duels against Savoie, Wright, Bedard and Dvorsky (thanks to Germany they are finally talking about him) and has set tournament records along the way. He dominates the MHL like never before any U18 player including Kucherov (I mean, their PPGs are not even close and Kuch was almost a half year older). This is exactly how a junior career of a Generational prospect looks like. Nothing to put in perspective like with the others, the results speaks for themselves.

Michkov is a generational goal scorer... 100% about it. But I hope he will grow few inches before the draft.
'The New King' is on rise!

Thats such a Auston Matthews Label to explain undeserved TSN Rankings while being outscored by someone's assists alone. But we are talking about Michkov now. His IQ and playmaking ability are off the charts and with better linemates his assists will go up. This kid sees the game simply on another level.

Agreed. Michkov is simply on another level compared to Matthews talent wise.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Brayden Point is 5'9

Listed at 5’10.

 

[Puck Dogg]

I saw Michov play in KHL game for SKA where he scored two goals. He had great shot and looked exceptional for 16 year old.

Easy to say that he will become high level NHL player in the future.

Good size is good, but with his IQ, vision and skating I don't think he'll have any problems even being 5'9-5'10.

You don’t have to put him down to elevate Michkov. He’s been talked about by Slovak and Swedish users for a few years now, but took another step after training and playing in Slovak men’s league. He was the youngest scorer ever, beating Gaborik’s record. I don’t think he’s on Michkov’s level as Michkov is potentially a generational talent. But Dvorsky is probably the best Slovak prospect since Gaborik.

At this point Michkov is in the league of his own, Bedard and Wright dont come close.

Michkov dominated every competition he’s participated in and plays levels above others.

You are technically right as Wright and Bedard don't play in the same league as Michov.
