I hate this team
He could get caught in a numbers game in Philly considering they have other C's in:
Couts, Hayes, Patrick, Frost, Rubstov, Laughton
Couts, Hayes, Patrick, Frost, Rubstov, Laughton

He was in the way!
An asset is an asset. Whoever is the odd man out gets moved for players at different needs.

I hate this team
agreed...but for picks. The Flyers already moved out guys like Weal, Cousins, Marody for picks and I expect within the next 2 years, more will follow.

What’s the plan with him? If he is not working out with the flyers maybe he would on another team? Maybe a team with a spot as a centre available on the top 9? Minnesota? Edmonton? Buffalo?
I think at this point most teams would know he’s a replacement level player. Not good enough to be in a teams top 9

What could have been...If only he'd played his junior in Russia....
So what....now Russian can't play any hockey in NA until they make the NHL? Sometimes....they're just not good enough.
He was Russia's 1st liner at WJC and again I was told by the Flyers fans right here, that it was a good thing for his development to play in some inferior leagues in NA. He is not good enough is not good enough for me after watching dozens of them butchering their development in NA and on the other hand the not drafted players succed to become even above their draft day projection players developing in Russia.
This particular guy needed two at the least, but more like four years of fine tuning in the KHL.
This line is always predictable after the fact, how about applying it to players at the exact time they move over from Russia to NA, otherwise it just looks like sour grapes.
He was a project when he was drafted and like most 4th rounders who do well in the AHL they are borderline NHLers plain and simple.
His failure was predictable, because he made a wrong choice. Kaprizov was a 5th rounder, Panarin was undrafted, Yakupov was a 1OA. Now what?
You can make a project work close to potential.. or not. Development is no lottery.

Misha feels like a 10-13 forward.If Kings asked for him as part of package in Toffoli trade (of course more parts) I would be ok with that.

The guy is a 4th round pick. He's played more NHL games than all Phillys picks that year outside the 1st round, even if it isn't that many.
Wow, if only we could have sent those other guys over to the coveted Russian hockey leagues....maybe they could have become something huh? If only North America could learn how to properly train players.
