I didn't see any of the game tonight, but I did see a highlight of the game winner. I have mentioned this before and I'll say it again. Michkov kind of reminds me of a Peter Forsberg type player. No, I'm not saying he will be at that level just yet, but he seems to see the ice at a superior level that very few players can match. The question will be how he handles the physicality when the games count. As I said a month ago, if he has 20 goals and 30 assists this season I would consider it a success, but I could certainly see him surpassing those numbers. Luchanko could probably be a 3rd line center in the NHL now, but best to let him have one more year at the junior level. I could see him being a true second line center when he fills out. It's kind of funny that he wears #17. The second coming of Brindy with more speed?

Brindy was a hell of a lot more than a 3rd line center. Luchanko will be sent back. Seems like a player that’s just developing quicker than most at his age. He has a limited ceiling like you mentioned probably a 3rd liner
