The Athletic: Russian Matvey Michkov will move from SKA to the NHL club Philadelphia
St. Petersburg SKA forward Matvey Michkov intends to break his contract and go to the Philadelphia Flyers club of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Athletic wrote about this.
It is assumed that Philadelphia may pay SKA up to one million dollars to buy out the contract of 19-year-old Michkov. It is known that the Russian has changed his agent in the United States: now his interests are represented by Paul Theofanos.
In June 2023, Philadelphia selected Michkov seventh overall in the first overall NHL Entry Draft. In addition to him, three more Russians were drafted in the first round: Dmitry Simashev, Daniil But and Mikhail Gulyaev.
At the end of last season, the Flyers did not make the playoffs. In the regular season, the team took 11th place in the NHL Eastern Conference table.
