Prospect Info: Round 1, 7th overall: Matvei Michkov, RW, SKA St. Petersburg (KHL)

[Magua]

Gauthier would’ve had to play 10 games last year to burn his ELC. It’s still not entirely clear how that factored into him being disgruntled. It’s very uncommon actually for freshman college players, without early birthdays, to burn a year.

"Cutter"...

Humpty Dumpty was such an asinine trade.

Would have been better moving Gauthier for a pick, but you can bet your ass they wanted an NHL ready return to appease a portion of the fanbase.

Jones openly said Murray was an important piece in targeting Drysdale.

Threw a #5 pick away. Briere needs to own that one very soon.

Own what? He's played 20 games.

If Drysdale returns to rookie season form and plays the entire of next season healthy, he's going to be a valuable asset going forward. If he does a Walker like job next year, then that really helps out our top 4.

If we can snatch one of the high end D prospects this draft, we're looking good when they come through with Bonk.

York, Sanheim, Drysdale, Bonk + 12th overall looks OK.

Agree, York really looking like a solid 3-4 moving forward. I think Bonk looks a lot better and has progressed much better than people thought, wouldn’t be shocked if he becomes an elite 2 guy, it’s possible, something in the mold of a Devon Toews, we’ll see though.

all we gotta do is copy every other team who gets lucky with draft picks and find like 8 players in the next 2 drafts who are all higher end NHL caliber players. SURELY then we can win the cup and save michkovs career before it already crumbles.

Message to Flyers’ Matvei Michkov? NHL ‘Even Easier’ Than KHL

Some comments SKA St. Petersburg head coach and RIHF Vice President Roman Rotenberg made earlier this month put pressure on the Philadelphia Flyers and top prospect Matvei Michkov, implying that he must play a starring role in Philadelphia right away or otherwise return to the KHL. But if any...
