Let’s talk about Matvei Michkov and Connor Bedard once again, as the two quote-unquote generational NHL prospects from the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.
We’re referencing them today because of a few updates going on with their situations as prospects.
For Michkov, the guy is legitimately posting up the best U17 MHL numbers since Nikita Kucherov, and is on pace to beating his goal record for U17 players. This is all the more incredible when you realize Michkov was three weeks away from being a U16 player.
As for Bedard, well, the first ever WHL Exceptional Status player and 1st overall pick at the WHL Bantam Draft is heading to Sweden to suit up for the HV71’s junior hockey team in practice, before the WHL comes back to play in December.

I love the fact that Connor bedard is a die hard canucks fan
you should make a video about trevor wong for the 2021 draft people are sleeping on him
Theyre going to score a lot of goals
You better be attending Regina pats games in the future Bedards worth the price of admission
Matvei michkov I have watch all his 6 mhl game he was just average at 15 he not that good he look like the next caufield
Shane at 15 year old 66pts in 59 game that very Matvei michkov is not the next great all star
Was literally just looking at this stuff and then tabbed over to YouTube and saw your video
Bruins better start tanking. Never too soon.
If hes born in december 2004, how tf if he "almost not qualified for this draft" Laf is an october 2001 birthday and Byfield is an august 2002 birthday and are both going in the same draft
I'd be very suprise if Michkov, or even Bedard ends up being better than Wright
Kucherov was only a 3rd round pick too
Let's not forget Adam Fantilli.
Shane wright is generational. Everyone else? Perhaps a future hhof/all stars but difficult to call generational this early
Is it just me or are there just so many amazing young prospects who are breaking records left right and centre eligible for the 2022 and 2023 drafts? Wright, Lambert, Savoie, Bedard and Michkov are all looking so good already and I just can't wait to see which NHL team gets them.
5 aatu raty 4 mattew Savoie 3 bradt Lambert 2 Connor Bédard 1 Shane Wright
I actually go to school with bedard 😂 I could maybe get you an interview with him
People are finally realizing how good they are. They have been under the radar since 2018, thanks to Wagon Hockey
Bruh they're my age what the hell am I doing with my life
2023 Adam Fantilli to will be very good.
This has Hughes Kakko rivalry written all over it
We have to have a new word for these players. Decaders?
Remind me 2 years from now when it matters.
Connor Bedard didn’t play his whole entire life at West Van Academy, he went there in his 1st year bantam, I played against him in my 2nd year bantam while he was a Bantam underage he played for North Van minor and “I made him ice the puck” lol
Great stuff, Legoman.
Bedard tried to follow on Instagram last year but I didn’t know who he was
Wright is a potential generational talent
You pronounce Michkov wrong. C'mon, it's not that difficult.
Neither one of these kids are generational talents, stop throwing around that term like its on sale.
Can't wait to see these kids grow into superstars
That was/is a great rivalry ( croby, ovi one) !! This might me as grest of a rivalry, we could only hope they both go to the same divsion so they can battle it out !! 👍👍
Petty needs a Míchov not a Bedard I'd rather Canucks pick him if it were to happen
