More Bad News Confirmed for Matvei Michkov

Some unexpected news concerning Matvei Michkov, the 7th overall pick of the 2023 NHL draft, has been released.

It's been reported that the Flyers' top prospect might not start the season in the KHL, but in the MHL, Russia's major junior league.

Michkov is poised for a great career in hockey. Hopes are high for the Russian prospect, but ties to the KHL and the global situation in Russia caused him to drop in the draft.

It's surprising to see that he could be sent back to the minors, even for a team like SKA.

They have a lot of talent on the roster, but sending a promising prospect like Michkov to the MHL doesn't seem to be a smart move.

Michkov is under contract in St. Petersburg until 2026, and NHL fans are patiently awaiting his arrival in North America.
