SKA Officially Terminates Matvei Michkov’s Contract - He’s Coming! upd: signs ELC on 7/1
- Thread starter Hollywood Cannon
- Start date

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
If Michkov works on his skating this offseason and they get a young center for him to play with, I believe he can have a Kane/Kucherov level impact, he is that dude, whatever it is he has it. You could see it when he was a teenager. I’m not slightly surprised at all it’s translating at the NHL level. That being said, who knows if he’ll ever get talent to play with instead of goons that hit, fight and block shots.

This made me laugh slightly...

Makes you realise the overall lack of young talent the organisation has had for a long time. Since Renberg 32 years ago, the top scoring Flyers rookies have been:
1. Michkov: 50 in 70
2. Gagne: 48 in 80
3. Read: 47 in 79
4. Gostisbehere: 46 in 64
5. Niinimaa: 44 in 77
6. Carter: 42 in 81
7. Umberger: 38 in 73
8. Cates: 38 in 82
9. Fedotenko: 36 in 74
10. van Riemsdyk: 35 in 78

If things dont really buck up quickly with the Flyers prospect pool... IE they need to hit this draft at the very least...
Michkov is looking at being to 2025-2035 what Giroux was from 2012-2022...
but without a Voracek level player alongside him.

Remember when Biere said Deslauriers will be Michkov's BFF this season?
I can't recall a single time where Deslauriers stood up for Michkov

cut to Nicky Fists in the press box: "ooooooo when I get down on that ice, I will totally be Michkov's gaurdian. Except I wont ever be on the ice as the same time as him, and my fights are mostly staged with other enforcers. Culture!"

I laughed at the chatter at the beginning of the season that Michkov was scoring too much on the powerplay and that would hurt his chances at the Calder.
Ironically, it's going to be his relatively weak powerplay numbers that cost him the Calder.

They need to really hit on their first rounder. It is so obvious how much better he is than everyone else and he needs another top end talent to capitalize on his play making ability. MM should have at least another 20 points or so. I love G but the last time the Flyers had a playmaker like this was Forsberg.

I’d love it. One more year, but can’t see Briere being allowed not to spend.
They will chase a goalie, and some kind of FA help to the centre position imo.
I doubt that. Hutson’s season is near historical for a rookie D. A few more points for MM wouldn’t have mattered.I laughed at the chatter at the beginning of the season that Michkov was scoring too much on the powerplay and that would hurt his chances at the Calder.

Is Michkov expected to get more minutes ? Would be great for him to win the goal and point scoring race even if he doesn’t win the Calder

Lane Hutson will win the Calder. His season is historical for a rookie D. He’s also a phenomenal player.
Doesn’t play defense though, guys one of the worst defensemen defensively in the league by all analytics and he plays on the better team than Michkov and Celebrini. Celebrini will win it due to Michkov having Torts for 75 games
That’s simply not true. But please carry on with your agenda-driven posts.
Why are you on the Flyers board trying to push your agenda about your own teams player? Very bizarre. The analytics prove what I wrote, sorry you’re upset.
