Matvei Michkov expected to join Flyers next season
Seventh overall pick in the 2023 NHL draft Matvei Michkov is expected to join the Philadelphia Flyers next season.
In a dramatic turn of events, Flyers prospect Matvei Michkov is expected to make the push to the NHL and abandon his KHL contract that is expected to last until 2026.
During the draft process, team's hesitated to commit to the russian as a pick because of the barrier in Russia given the war and his lengthy contract, with the scary idea of him never coming to North America.
👀 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?! #LetsGoFlyers 🤔
SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg: "There will be news about Matvei Michkov soon, some legal details remain to be resolved.
Translated:
According to SE, SKA forward Matvey Michkov will continue his career in Philadelphia. The contract with the St. Petersburg club will be terminated until 2026, and the rights to the hockey player in the KHL will remain with the army team.
Nothing is set and stone yet, with the Flyers still working on confirming this rumor, but it would be a huge addition for the Flyers if they can get their russian project earlier than anticipated.
