It appears possible but could take a few seasons and there are rumors Michkov could force his way to a certain team. The big risk is when and if he’ll come over to the NHL. Michkov’s ceiling is one of the great Russian hockey forwards. He’s got a bit more defensive sense and has some of the best KHL numbers ever. The big difference between the two will be Michkov can play a 100-foot game. Michkov’s skating and skillset look a lot like Panarin. The easiest is Artemi Panarin, who took a while to come over to the NHL. Ovechkin? You can point to a handful of elite Russian forwards and Michkov comes to mind. Not to play the nationality bias game but. Player comparison: Filip Forsberg Matvei Michkov Honestly, Carlsson won’t end up with the same career but Alex Ovechkin without the shot/scoring touch?

There are a lot of players you could compare to Fantilli, who just won the Hobey Baker award for top collegiate player this past season at Michigan. Player comparison: Sidney Crosby Adam Fantilli
