Rotenberg basically says players should be 100% to ready when they go aboad (to NHL). Furthermore he says SKA is committed to developing Michkov.
Standard stuff, really.

SKA development camp starts on July, 5th. SKA preseason camp starts on July, 15th. As you probably understand, Matvei is contractually obligated to attend both camps...

Michigan was his 1st goal for Team Russia, and I mean national team not junior, at Euro Tour vs Sweden, at the same tournament where he became the youngest player ever to play for Soviet/Russian national team. Michigan was his game winning goal in the Kharlamov Cup's final game (MHL playoffs), and Michigan was his last KHL (at the moment) goal.

Yeah. The other tweet sounded way more threatening than what it seemed like he actually said. Thanks for confirming.

I am pretty sure if he doesn’t come over for 3 years his ELC will only be 1 year. The ELC length is based on age of signing player.
Edit - it might be 2.
He'll be 21 in 2026 so it's 3 year ELC if he doesn't skip one year by signing immediately after his SKA contract is over in May.

Im all in on building the next Russian Five. Winning a Cup that way would really piss Clarke off.

Looks like it will be three years if he signs an ELC in spring/summer 2026. It only matters what his age will be on 9/15/2026. The chart and language from the CBA:
As used in this Article, "age," including "First SPC Signing Age," means a Player's age on September 15 of the calendar year in which he signs an SPC, regardless of his actual age on the date he signs such SPC.

As far as I understand if you sign a contract before July, 1st, it will be considered a previous year contract.
Have you watched much of Demidov? He looks spectacular in the highlights I watched, but that's obviously not a full picture of a player. I'm interested to hear more about him.

The best thing would be him coming over in 2026 if we're being honest. Despite all this nonsense from Briere and Torts about winning every game possible, the Flyers need to suck horribly for at least two more years in order to draft elite talent. They need a Celebrini or Eiserman next year and at least one more high-end stud before Michkov arrives. Add them to Tippett, Gauthier, Foerster, York, Frost, Bonk, etc. and this is a team who will soon be able to score a lot of goals.
Like Jones said, re: recruiting players -- when the Flyers are ready to go on a run they can add a couple of key free agents (likely a high-end veteran defenseman and center) to support the kids.
The playbook is there -- in order to go on a legit Cup run, you need elite talent in the draft -- The Pens, Hawks, Kings, Bolts, and Avs proved that. Vegas is an anomaly, exploiting a unique expansion draft scenario to build a winner.

He plays the same position as Michkov, RW. At least mostly. He had an experience to play center too.
As to the kid, well, he's crazy entertaining. Probably even more entertaining than Michkov. Skating and stickhandling are Kharlamov/Makarov level. He basically doesn't have any weak sides, but if you compare him to Michkov there are a few main differences. Demidov is the better skater overall, maybe even the better stickhandler, but not sure about this. Where Michkov is clearly better is IQ and shot.
If Demidov has top NHLer level IQ, Michkov has Crosby level IQ. And his shot is quicker and more precise.

I think he would take Leonard over MichkovTorts would have wanted Reinbacher over Michkov as well. Let's be honest

There's just something cool as shit about a Russian stud on the Flyers.
Just feels wrong. Love it.

I wonder when was the last time the Flyers had players do this kind of drill, 2012?
How do you think Torts feels seeing video of him practicing the Michigan and the toss it over the net to himself move (let alone the multiple times he's pulled off the Michigan in big game situations)?
I'm just happy we have skills coaches that can teach our guys how to protect themselves in a fight. I'm sure Michkov needs work on that. He may have soft hands with the puck, but how is he at dropping the gloves?

I am overjoyed that Tortorella will be gone. Because he would put a stop to it.

Bill seems convinced that his beloved Tortorella will stay or at least hand pick his replacement
