After much speculation, the reliable Anthony Di Marco and other sources confirmed that the Philadelphia Flyers' 2023 first-round draft pick, Matvei Michkov, is being released from his KHL contract.
The above means that the electric forward will be on Philadelphia's 2024-25 National Hockey League roster, with an NHL contract to be signed shortly after visa issues allow Michkov to come to the United States.
A series of events enabled the Flyers to draft Michkov number seven overall last summer because it was believed he would need to remain in the KHL for three seasons.
This latest development is another example of Keith Jones and Danny Briere's willingness to take calculated risks, which should further the so-called 'Rebuild' in ways that can not be measured.
