Former KHL club defender Nikita Shchitov assessed the forward’s prospects Matveya Michkova V”Philadelphia Flyers “
Philadelphia signed the 19-year-old forward to a three-year, entry-level contract in early July.
— Michkov had a good season in Sochi, he scored a lot of points for his age. I think that moving to Philadelphia will allow him to develop. In the coming years, he will be able to develop in the system of this club and become its leader. It is clear that everything does not happen at once. Matvey must become stronger. Therefore, they will create all the conditions for Michkov to become the leader of the team and help it compete for the Stanley Cup.
Michkov has good prospects, he is an elegant and talented forward. They say that he has character problems, but all talented people have a difficult character. He is a young man. He will get used to it and adapt to the realities of the National Hockey League. I think he will succeed. The main thing is that he is supported by the coaching staff and his teammates. “I think Matvey has good prospects abroad,” Shchitov told RB Sport.
The Russian forward was loaned to Sochi last season, where he played 47 matches and scored 41 points (19 goals and 22 assists).
