Prospect Info: U18 WJC

[Go Wings]

Michkov has a ridiculous 9 goals in 4 games. Yes you read that right 9 goals for the 16 year old.
That 2023 is going to be something very special with Bedard and Michkov.

 

[Frk It]

Interesting stat... did not realize this. Kid does have a nice shot, though,

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

I haven't watched any full WJC 18 games yet but the clips I'm seeing make me really like this kid. Righty or not.

 

[Go Wings]

And not to be outdone Bedard just had a 5 point game in the quartefinal elimination game.

Detroit has got to get one of these players.

Edvinsson and Lysell impressed me tonight vs the US. Wouldn't be mad if Hakan and Steve choose either of them with our first pick.

I have a feeling Samu Salminen is going to get drafted way higher than where he came in at in Bob's recent ranking. I could see him creeping into round 1, like we saw with Henrik Borgstrom a few years ago. There are not a lot of center prospects with his combo of size and skill.

If not, I would be all over taking him in round 2-3.

Rosen continues to stick out in a very good way. I think I actually like him more than Lysell. He is probably off the board by the time we get to the Washington pick, but I could easily get behind using that pick on him.

I am not sure I want anything off of the US roster except for Hughes.

I need to watch more of the Finns

Really? I would take Ty Gallagher in the later rounds just off his shot alone, lol.

I haven't really liked the forwards. I was hoping to like Dylan Duke more than I have. What are your thoughts on Pastujov?

Although Lysell looked decent and scored two goals against the US, I feel I remain quite sceptical to him. I agree with you on Rosen.

I hope it is Canada vs Russia in the finals.
Bedard vs Michkov

In a literal sense, probably not. I would take some of these guys (like the Martin kid) at some point, but I probably wouldn't take them as high as they will go. I would take Pastujov for example, but probably not before the third round and I expect someone to take him in the second. I just think this is a really sad NDTP team in terms of NHL talent.

Michkov is nothing compared to Berard.

More of Berard vs. Wright is the future. Canada is coming STRONG.

It definitely could be like that, lets hope.

I am a Canadian and a die hard supporter of team Canada. But we need to call it like it is. Michkov has 10 goals in 5 games. He has been an absolute stud this tournament and he's only 16.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

If its a choice between Wright, Bedard, Michkov...

Don't care. Take any of them.

I could be talked into being happy with Lambert too lol.

Thanks for that. Agreed.

What do you think about using the Washington pick on him? He is a good combo of size and skill and I do think he projects well in the middle. Skating isn't awful either.

I have seen enough to say I am intrigued and think with some development you could have something there.

After Beniers, I don’t know there are any real standouts in that next group of centers. I like the kids from the Q, but I’m not sure how much offense is there. I like Sillinger and Pinelli, but after that it’s a mixed bag for me.

I would be happy taking him with the Washington pick.

Svechkov?

Jakub Brabenec at eliteprospects.com

Interesting, did not pay much attention to the Czechs other than Svozil. This Brbanec kid is among the youngest in this draft. Listed as a center with some decent size.

 

[Frk It]

Crap.... was hoping for him in round 2. Maybe we look at him with our Washington pick.
