It's not the size that makes him a freak of nature, it's the fact that he has good hands and skill ability at that size. I certainly classify Bertuzzi as a very rare player, he has phenomenal hands for a guy that big.Yeah so, he is 6'5" 235lbs
I am 6'3" 230lbs, does that mean I am a freak of nature too.
Bertuzzi (6'3" 245lbs), Laraque (6'3" 245lbs), Lindros (6'4" 240lbs), Antropov (6'6" 230lbs), Derek Boogaard (6'7" 270lbs), Daze (6'6" 230lbs), Steve Bernier (6'2" 230lbs), Fedoruk (6'2" 240lbs), Jagr (6'3" 245lbs), Lecavalier (6'4" 223lbs), Steve McKenna (6'8" 252lbs), Dustin Penner (6'4" 243lbs)
I can go on but you get the picture, Mikhnov isn't a freak of nature as the guys in bold are bigger than Alexei. Talk about another over-hyped Oiler prospect. And I am an Oiler fan and don't believe how much Mikhnov is over-rated.
None of us have any clue how Mikhnov will develop, he's just an intriguing guy to watch. He certainly has the potential to be a star just like he has the potential to be another Artyukhin.
