On Monday, TVA Sports journalist Anthony Martineau released an article that had a bombshell effect. Indeed, he met with Matvei Michkov's current assistant coach, who was very reassuring about the young forward's future, at the end of the 2025-2026 season.

Martineau also met Dmitri Zavgorodniy, a teammate of the Russian phenomenon with HC Sochi, who also played in the QMJHL, with Rimouski Oceanic. The latter affirmed that Michkov is the perfect player for the Canadiens.

"Matvei is like the people of Montreal: he's a hockey enthusiast! He's one of you! Michkov and Montreal, it sounds like a 'perfect mix' to me!" - Dmitri Zavgorodniy

As if that wasn't enough, the TVA Sports journalist followed up in the evening. He posted an unseen video of the young Russian phenomenon in training on his Twitter account. See how he's a magician, a bit like Alex Kovalev was, with the puck!



A video that was sent directly to him by Michkov's close contacts.

Wow, Matvei Michkov seems to be quite a hockey player. It will be interesting to see if the uncertainty surrounding his transition to the NHL will deter the league's GMs, including Kent Hughes!
