Former head coach of the Russian national team Vyacheslav Bykov believes that at this stage it is important not to harm the career development of the Sochi striker Matthew Michkov.
This season, the 18-year-old hockey player played three Fonbet KHL Championship games for SKA without any effective action, then was loaned to Sochi and scored a dropped puck in two games.
– How to be Matvey after the NHL Draft? It is difficult for me to answer this subject. It seems to me that the player himself should feel, consult an agent, coach, relatives, understand if he is ready to take this step now. Here everything is individual, there is no single recipe, everyone must decide for themselves when to go, whether it is ready for now or is it worth waiting for more.
I think Matvey will play, and when he goes to the NHL or moves to another club or goes back to SKA, it’s up to those executives who have some sort of rights over that player, they’ll give him the opportunity to to come true. The main thing is not to harm in this situation. Because talent is making its way. It is important not to harm, to give him the opportunity to fulfill his potential,” Bykov told Metaratings.ru.
