The name of Matvei Michkov is on everyone's lips right now. The talent of the young Russian player is undeniable, but his situation is rather insecure for NHL teams. According to many, this is the only reason why he could be drafted.

To add another layer, prospect expert Kyle Woodlief made a major statement that speaks volumes about Mishkov's potential:
"If I go back in time, in the last 13 drafts, he would be first overall in at least 11 of them, except for McDavid and Bedard's." - Kyle Woodlief

If you read between the lines, that means Michkov would have been ranked ahead of those 11 players:
- Taylor Hall (2010)
- Nail Yakupov (2012)
- Aaron Ekblad (2014)
- Nico Hischier (2017)
- Rasmus Dahlin (2018)
- Jack Hughes (2019)
- Alexis Lafrenière (2020)
- Owen Power (2021)
Also according to Woodlief, Mishkov is far from a consolation prize, he's a whole hockey player, a generational talent.
