Matvei Michkov Scouting Report

Michkov dressed at the MHL, VHL, and KHL levels this season in Russia. He produced offense at every stop. More impressive was the fact he wasn't distracted by the fact he played in three different leagues, with three different teams.
Michkov is elusive. He plays quick and fast. He's a threat off the rush, has a great stick, and makes plays in a phone booth. He's a potential difference maker offensively. Although he's not tall in stature, he's sturdy and rarely gets pushed off the play. There were times he was used in all situations but he leans top line scoring forward who will create on the top PP unit in NHL.
