I'm far less (read also: not) concerned about the immune system of Michkov than this

"In the KHL, there's lots of looping and swinging, and speed. I already know a couple of things that we're going to have to work on with Michkov to get him ready to play the North American style of game" - Armstrong
The Flyers coaching staff is exactly the group I want teaching an offensively gifted potential superstar how to play in the NHL.

With these coaches, what could go wrong?

I can just hear them now:

OH YOU THINK SCORING 2 GOALS AND FOUR POINTS IN A PRESEASON GAME IS A BIG DEAL?!?! DID YOU GET PUCKS IN DEEP, BLOCK A DAMN SHOT?? Look kid, you need to learn to play the right way, the Flyers way. So you’re going to Lehigh where Coach Lappy can teach you to lose the cute and play Flyers hockey!
 
There’s nothing to threaten the KHL/the Russian Hockey Federation with. They’ve been banned & probably will continue to be from international play for the foreseeable future so nothing really to lose from their end.

IDK about that. Their claim to be a hockey hot spot has no support if they can’t defeat foreign clubs. Additionally it has to bother the Russian players if they can’t make top grade money or enhance their reputations.

They’re targeting young players so in all honestly most would probably agree to those terms. Hell Michkov willingly locked himself up long term at an early age.
 
It was fun while it lasted. But we all knew deep down that the odds of Michov playing for the Flyers were/are always very small
