Sam McGilligan on the Polarizing Matvei Michkov

Matvei Michkov has been one of the hardest prospects to figure out in the 2023 NHL Draft. Sam McGilligan of McKeen’s Hockey joins to profile the Russian forward and how his season has been a tale of two halves. We discuss what makes him worthy of being a top-five pick in the Draft and what he needs to continue to develop as he makes his way to the NHL (11:00). Then we talk how he would fit in the San Jose Sharks prospect pool and why he’d be a perfect complement to William Eklund (17:00). Finally, we discuss how loaded the top of the Draft is and some of the top defensemen in the Draft (23:00).
