Before the 2023 NHL Draft, there was much speculation about when SKA St. Petersburg forward Matvei Michkov would be able to join the NHL. Despite this uncertainty, the Philadelphia Flyers selected Michkov in the top 10.
However, a recent statement from Flyers GM Danny Briere has cast further doubt on Michkov's future with the team. Many assumed Michkov would join the NHL within the next season or two, but Briere has now expressed uncertainty.
This has caused significant concern among Flyers fans. Some are worried Michkov might not sign, while others think Briere is trying to maintain good relations with the KHL and SKA St. Petersburg.
Regardless, this statement suggests Michkov won't be joining the Flyers this summer. He will likely spend another season in the KHL before the discussion resumes.
