Prospect Info: Round 1, 7th overall: Matvei Michkov, RW, SKA St. Petersburg (KHL)

[EdmFlyersfan]

Looking strictly at forwards once Michkov arrives in 2025-26 season, we have a huge lack talent in the center position (I assume Michkov will remain a winger)...our wingers will flourish once they get someone that can give a tape-to-tape pass.:


Couturier (C) - untradeable have to keep
Laughton (C) - trade
Poehling (C) - trade
Johansen (C) - out

Frost (C) - convert him to LW
Farabee (LW) - keep
Cates (LW) - unknown
Deslauriers (LW) - out

Michkov (RW) - keep
Konency (RW) - trade for a centerman
Tippett (RW) - keep
Brink (RW) - trade
Foerster (RW) - keep
Lycksell (RW) - keep
Atkinson (RW) - out
Gurianov (RW) - out
Hathaway (RW) - out

Rookies/Draft Picks
Gendron (RW) - keep
Barkey (C) - keep
Desnoyers (LW) - keep
1st round draft picks 2023
1st round draft pick 2024

Projected Lines
Frost - *Center via Konecny trade* - Michkov
Farabee - UFA Center - Tippett
Cates - Barkey - Foerester
Desnoyers/Draft pick - Couturier - Lycksell/Gendron/Draft pick

Another crying post from fan who found someone forgot to write “Michkov is the Savior”.

Almost every prospect has some flaws, and (which comes a some surprise for Michkov fan club) Matvei isn’t exception. I just noticed it

Yes, other fans are crying. Yes, other fans have their panties in a knot. Yes.

Good thing Torts was here to squeeze those 10-15 extra points out of the Flyers to keep them out of the running for Celebrini.

 

[GKJ]

Frost is never going to be a winger here.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Yes, other fans are crying. Yes, other fans have their panties in a knot. Yes.

Yeah that was a take. I had enough of those takes.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Frost is never going to be a winger here.

If Gagne can do it so can he...

 

[GKJ]

Black ops.

Now.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Sick man.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I wonder if this means his contract gets terminated a year sooner?

 

[FLYguy3911]

wrong thread

 

[Redpath]

If relationships are going to be sour with SKA, Rotenberg, and Team Russia authorities, there must be some sort of mutual understanding that can lead to a contract termination. Or at least I can dream.
