I hope you are right ... I read an article comparing Michkov to Kaprizov in terms of his current scoring pace this season. That would be pretty nice!

You are going to love him. His skill is off the charts. I've rarely seen a player who can protect the puck in traffic like he does and then have the ability to create a scoring chance either with a great pass or a great move to get a shot off. Also, watching him gain the zone and then set up opportunities is fantastic. He is a one man zone entry system...lol

As a 19 year old playing against men it is quite remarkable. If he didn't miss almost a month with pneumonia he would be even further ahead in scoring pace.

I hope it's not a factor at all, but until Michkov is playing for the Flyers I am holding my breath.

I don't know if you have been watching the WJCs but if so, how do you think Leonard looks? I can tell you at every BC game I have attended this season, you notice this kid every time he is on the ice, even more so than Gauthier. I know there was some speculation as to who drives the play for the Leonard-Smith-Perreault line, but from my perspective it's pretty obvious; its Leonard. But hey, if Michkov is playing for the Flyers in 2026 I will be pretty happy.

Personally, I don't think DB had a good first draft....he was gifted his first round pick

I agree. Had to take Michkov, fell in our lap. Pretty lucky.

That's apparently what he doesn't grasp. It's not nitpicking. When only one player has registered at 24 mph this season and only for a brief spurt and zero players hit the 24 mph mark all of last season. The difference between 24 and 25 is huge.

run a T test cliff, see if there is a significant difference. Then go at him. Need the facts.

I don’t dislike MJL. I don’t have a dog in this race. My point is, if I’m in JD’s shoes, I would really hate this guy. MJL is clearly a smart and knowledgeable fan but stubborn. If you don’t see eye to eye, we seen this mess for hours on end everyday. I imagine JD is a very young adult and MJL being a middle aged man. So where is the challenge in arguing with JD?
