Breaking News: Matvei Michkov Could Make His NHL Debut as Early as Next Season
The statement appears that Michkov's translator stated that he fully expects Matvei to be at next years Flyers training camp.
Prior to the war in Ukraine, Michkov was the consensus #2 pick behind Bedard for this years draft, but afterwards, he was hard to scout, and doesn't speak any english whatsoever.
TSN's Craig Button compared Michkov to Soccer superstar Lionel Messi:
"When Lionel Messi gets into the scoring area, he's dangerous, and you better know where he is," Button said. "Matvei as a hockey player is very similar. He's probing. He's looking to exploit opportunities. But when they come, he's, like, lightning quick."
