Is Matvei Michkov considered a generational talent ?



Over on the Flyers sub, this guy is being hyped the hell up. He’s being talked about like a generational talent. Just how good is he ? What is his ceiling? Is really a generational talent or is he simply a high end skilled prospect ? I’m really curious what folks outside of the flyers national think. Thanks

    Remains to be seen…doesn’t always translate to the NHL. Flyers definitely need him to be. They also desperately need goaltending!

    “5’10″”, 170lbs point per game player(KHL) nothing generational about these stats.

    He will be better than average for 3 years tops.

  4. Not generational, though probably in the next tier down given pre-draft hype.

    McDavid=generational. Eichel was the big competition for him in his draft year, a guy who would have gone first overall in most other years.

    Bedard isn’t McDavid level, but probably above Eichel. Michkov was the main competition for Bedard, talent-wise. The only reason he dropped as far as he did was the Russian factor and that he’d already signed a long-term contract with SKA. Michkov coming over early is for sure a coup for Philly, and he’s a serious offensive talent.

    Just not “generational”

    As talented as Nail Yakupov? Never.
