Michkov Exhibits Edginess During 2022 Worlds
The 2023 NHL draft was highly anticipated, especially due to the presence of several offensive-laden prospects in the top 10. Despite their challenging season, the Flyers managed to secure a spot in the top 10 and landed a promising prospect in Matvei Michkov.
Several teams passed on him, citing different reasons such as concerns over the situation in Ukraine with Russia or reports of him being a difficult player to handle who didn't listen to his coaches. However, the Flyers believed he was the right choice and confidently selected him, resulting in smiles all around the stage.
A video shared by Dylan Robillard, a writer for Brotherlypuck.com, showcased the kind of player Michkov could be during the 2022 World Junior Championships when Russia faced Switzerland. The video revealed his edginess and willingness to stand his ground against any opponent.
Michkov's exceptional skill sets make him a standout player, and he is expected to meet the Flyers' needs upfront. The team's additions of players like Cutter Gautier and Tyson Forrester will further complement Michkov's abilities and make life easier for him when he eventually arrives after his KHL contract ends.
As the rebuilding phase continues, Flyers fans should be excited about the positive changes happening within their team.
