Matvei Michkov Facts

Cap Hit: $950,000Powered by
NHL Rights: Philadelphia Flyers / Signed
Drafted: 2023 round 1 #7 overall by Philadelphia Flyers
Agency: Premium

The rare triple-threat winger, Michkov is a constant threat to find the back of the net. His puck skills are near the top of the draft, owing to immense creativity, hip pocket handling, dextrous hands, and a never-say-die attitude. You may think that you have him, but most of the time, you really don’t. His ability to problem-solve his way out of defensive pressure is at a level all its own. Michkov creates plays on the ice that we can’t even fathom with the benefit of a bird’s eye view. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide

Michkov brings every offensive tool you could want to the table; a wicked wrister, elusiveness, and vision

…becomes quicker around the net. He can make quick turns down low to then drive the net and display his quick hands in tight traffic (aug)
