I don't understand this idea that what works for all sports in Europe doesn't work for hockey. If Philadelphia gives several million dollars to the SKA for Michkov, the SKA cashes in, that's it.
I'm not going to look for a false geopolitical or economic theory. Several million dollars for a European hockey club is a big financial transaction.
No one in Russia would blame SKA for selling Michkov. Everyone knows in Russia that Michkov's destiny is to play in the NHL.
It won't happen because NHL will never allow it. The whole thing is about getting players from other leagues for peanuts. Why will they let the Flyers break such a cool partnership?
