In the last few hours, we have had rare news from Michkov, as he was able to give an interview to Match TV. It was a very interesting discussion.
Michkov was very clear. He wants to play hockey in the NHL, he reiterated his desire to play in North America, even stating that it would be a dream for him to play in the NHL.
Matvei Michkov, aged 18, also highlighted that he doesn't let himself be distracted by constant comparisons with players like Connor Bedard or Alexander Ovechkin. For him, what's important is to keep working hard to fully harness his potential and become a better player on the ice.
Yes, Michkov is considered the best player from his country since Ovechkin by some, but he doesn't want to be distracted by that.
