The player that is the most talked about as we approach the much anticipated 2023 NHL Draft is certainly the young sensation Matvei Michkov, for reasons that you know.
In the last few hours, we have had rare news from Michkov, as he was able to give an interview to Match TV. It was a very interesting discussion.
Great news!
Michkov was very clear. He wants to play hockey in the NHL, he reiterated his desire to play in North America, even stating that it would be a dream for him to play in the NHL.
He also confirmed his presence in Nashville for the 2023 Draft which will be held on June 28, which is great news. Michkov is very excited to be there.
Matvei Michkov, aged 18, also highlighted that he doesn't let himself be distracted by constant comparisons with players like Connor Bedard or Alexander Ovechkin. For him, what's important is to keep working hard to fully harness his potential and become a better player on the ice.
Yes, Michkov is considered the best player from his country since Ovechkin by some, but he doesn't want to be distracted by that.
Knowing all this, do you think that the CH should draft Michkov with the 5th overall pick?
