Are Matvei Michkov's true colors on display here?
It was the Philadelphia Flyers who snatched up Matvei MIchkov at pick number 7, after the Montreal Canadiens were thought to be picking the youngster, but opted instead to choose David Reinbacher.
There may be another reason why teams decided not to pick Michkov due to the delicate political situation in Russia, which may have been influenced by the political situation in the country.
''Will he be nice? Will he continue to kick his teammates when they are on the ground in the locker room? Will he trip his teammates during practice? Will he stick his stick into his goalie's chest protector during practice? - Mathias Brunet''

In a recent article by Mathias Brunet and Marc Lemay of BPM, they claimed that they had found a reason why many teams backed off the now-top prospect for the Flyers.
Michkov, according to Brunet, plays for the hockey club St. Petersburg SKA, and according to him, is a very aggressive and disrespectful teammate.
There has been talk of this before, and it has been said prior to the draft, which might have been an indication of why teams backed off during the draft.
As a result, Michkov may as well explain why his new campaign with the KHL has been a miserable one and why so frequently he has been scratched from the lineup.
