Matvei Michkov's major statement has the effect of a bombshell
While the Habs and six other teams ignored Matvei Michkov in the draft, partly because of his KHL contract, we've just had some bombshell news.
The Russian has a contract with SKA until 2026, but everything points to him being with the Flyers as early as the 2024 season.
"Matvei Michkov and his translator say he won't be at the rookie camp next week, but they're confident he can be there next summer and be part of the Flyers lineup in the fall of 2024."
This is really huge news, and we'll finally get to see if the Habs and other teams were right to turn their backs on him.
