Rumor: Michkov to NA

[ViD]

Might be a couple other rookies who pop too, but michkov will likely put up huge numbers and run away with the rookie award. PPG player in year one?

Under Torts style of play ? Nearly impossible

 

[Strangelove]

wanna bet?

Hmmm, maybe he'll change his name to Tortsov.

Has my old pal Clarkie warmed up to "Russkies" over the years?

Actually if anything Torts plays his top guys too many minutes. Michkov will be 18+ minutes to start and likely even more.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Who said he may never come over?

It was always a matter of when, not if.

Interested to see him play.

Russian factor was cited ad nauseum

 

[Mr Kot]

Ill be honest, i read op as Michkov to Anaheim

 

[GrandmaCookie]

How do the Habs fans feel ?

Used to the bullshit this team pulls. Just another day in habs land.

Reinbacher better be a top pairing defenseman.

СКА может получить до миллиона долларов от «Филадельфии» за выкуп контракта Мичкова

По информации «СЭ», «Филадельфия» может выплатить СКА до миллиона долларов за выкуп контракта нападающего Матвея Мичкова.

According to SE, Philadelphia may pay SKA up to a million dollars to buy out the contract of striker Matvey Michkov.

Let us remind you that the hockey player’s agreement with the army team is valid until the end of the 2025/26 season, but it is planned that it will be terminated and the player will go to the NHL.

Also, according to our information, Michkov has changed his agent in North America - now his interests are represented by Paul Theofanos.

Philadelphia selected Michkov seventh overall in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.

Teams can't buy out a contract, so something negative will come out of this.

They need to take away Torts' authority over the PP. Just say it's Michkov's PP now, let him play the full 2 minutes. He could get 40 PP points, maybe 50 someday like Kucherov.

5v5 Michkov is going to need a lot of help, at least to start off. I don't think point per game is in the cards this coming season regardless of the coach.

Or the Flyers just clarified it's legality with the league.

Or it is not the Flyers, but the Comcast and they aren't forbidden to do that.

Why is he being released from his 3 year deal over there??
Seems something is off here? Does anyone have that info

Amazing if true! Go flyers!

 

[Realgud]

Good stuff

 

[Rich Nixon]

No, he hasn't signed his ELC yet. The reports are that SKA will release him tomorrow and he will be aboe to sign ELC/come to North America, but still needs to work out his visa.

Hearing Michkov 3 yr ELC contract has been signed . As per Hockey News Hub

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Excited to see how he does.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Can't wait to see this kid in the NHL!

Comcast owns the Flyers, so this would be seen as a salary cap circumvention and subject to league discipline. Probably a huge fine and loss of draft picks.

Their PP is run by Rocky Thompson and has been bottom of the league the past 2 seasons...yet he still has a job.

Btw...Thompson was a career goon with no offensive skills and prior to coming to philly, he took off his shirt and tried to fight a player in an earlier coaching gig.

The Flyers have a goon called Rocky Thompson running their 32nd ranked PP. The organization is too lazy to replace him.

Edit - didn’t read the post above me till after I made mine.

Well, officially it doesn't need to be the money for Michkov. I mean, Comcast could just buy some jerseys from the SKA shop for a solid chunk of money, nothing wrong with that.
