Is Michkov next goalscoring king of NHL?

[User9992]

Alex Ovechkin, Auston Matthews... Is Matvei Michkov the next 'Goalscoring King' of NHL?


Matvei Michkov, 5'10 tall, 16 y.o., born in December 9th of 2004, eligible for 2023 Draft (same as Bedard), left handed RW, is probably one of the most talented russian prospects ever.

Scored 109 Points (70 Goals + 39 Assists) in 26 Games in 2019-20 U16 Russian Tournement.
In comparison: Ovi in the same age as Michkov scored only 41 Goals in 32 Games in the same tournement.



Won & led 2020 Youth Olympics (U18) in scoring: 14 Points (9 Goals + 5 Assists) in just 4 Games while being just 15 years & 1 month old.



Broke Nikita Kucherov's record in 2020-21 MHL (U20 league) season for U17 player with 56 Points (38 Goals + 18 Assists) in 56 Games.

But his most impressive achievement so far is his 2021 U18 World Championships performance: Tournement's MVP, Best Forward & Leading Scorer with 16 Points (12G + 4A) in 7 Games:

Note: Shane Wright was 17 years & 3 month old, Matvei Michkov was 16 years & 4 months old, Connor Bedard was 15 years & 9 months old during this tournement.
*Wright played 2 less games (5) than Michkov (7) & Bedard (7) & the oldest of the 3, while Bedard is the youngest one of them.

Hopefully, because I want people to get mad about his cellys.

 

[lawrence]

Next Russian super star.

 

[WADEugottaBELAKthat]

Yes is the simple answer. And the correct one.

Who would’ve thought that ovi 2.0 and Crosby 2.0 would’ve came from the same draft

But Michkov plays very different than Ovi though. More of finesse player with great stickhandling.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Damn Matthews only gets to be the best goal scorer in the league for 3 years….

michkovs a beast either way. Found out about him when he was obliterating it in his D-3 when he put up better numbers than D-2 svechnikov. Had a feeling he’d be special since then

 

[YippieKaey]

This guy is a lock for 10 Rocket Richards. It is clear as day!

 

[Zuluss]

Definitely hope to see Michkov morph into a healthier Bure

 

[Brown Cat]

[jetsforever]

Mich > Ovi, book it

 

[gwh]

Move to prospects

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I'd say he has a pretty decent shot..

 

[Shark Finn]

10.. Make it 12.

 

[heretik27]

Are people really serious when they think this kid will rival Ovechkin's career as a goal scorer? Maybe I'm just pessimistic, but there's a lot of prospects that never reach their own potential, let alone the greatest goal scorers of all time. I've not watched him live, so this is more of a generalized inquiry into the concensus of this players potential than it is me dogging on him.

He will stay in Russia. To break Mozyakin KHL records.

I hope not. KHL is for players who failed to make NHL. Mozyakin was good though.

 

[reino]

better than Yakupov worse than Ovi.

 

[Prsut18]

Let's wait.. I remember reading about 100 goals seasons for Laine before his draft too..

 

[geoo9]

Patty Kane v2.0

 

[geoo9]

Who would’ve thought that ovi 2.0 and Crosby 2.0 would’ve came from the same draft

Definitely hope to see Michkov morph into a healthier Bure

he looks much like Patrick Kane

 

[User9992]

Patty Kane v2.0

Stick handling and position wise yes.
But Kane is playmaker, while Michkov is a goalscorer.

He's never been one in a real full year...once

 

[Sasha Orlov]

He's never been one in a real full year...once

He’s a 50 goal scorer man he scores 50 every year
