The seventh overall draft pick in Matvei Michkov really made an imprint with Sochi ever since he was traded from SKA St. Petersburg. Michkov really has found his game, as he finished the season with 19 goals and 22 assists in 47 games played. He just had a great season with Sochi, and Michkov might, just might be in the NHL sooner than expected. Possibly as early as June when SKA makes a determination on Michkov, after talking with the Flyers front office that is.
A talented player like Michkov is exactly what John Tortorella and Danny Briere have been preaching about and clamoring about for the past few seasons, “We need more high-end talent.” That’s what Michkov is, an elite level talent that can take over a game with the blink of an eye.
Now We finally have a picture of him on the ice in Voorhees yesterday, courtesy of Egor Zamula’s Instagram:
It’s great to see Zamula back with the club about a month before training campus set to begin. Zamula can now help Michkov get adjusted to North America. Slava Kuznetsov is also present in this photo, and he is an interpreter.
Flyers Fans have been craving to see pictures of Michkov on ice. He looks happy and ready to go in this picture.
