Should The Flyers Risk This Draft Pick?
The upcoming 2023 draft is expected to be packed with exceptional talent in the forward and center positions. The team that wins the draft lottery and secures the chance to pick first will determine which player is a priority for their team.
The Philadelphia Flyers are considering taking a chance on Russian talent Matvei Michkov, but there are concerns that he may choose to remain in Russia and play in the KHL for a while after being drafted. This could result in him facing military service obligations, as happened with Ivan Fedotov, who suffered consequences as a result.
Despite this risk, Michkov is expected to be a rising star, and could even benefit CSKA Moscow through marketing and recruiting efforts. His impressive VHL rookie season saw him score 10 goals in 12 games, while with HK Sochi he put up 20 points in 27 games. Although there are some defensive flaws, his talent is undeniable.
The question remains: is Danny Briere willing to take the risk on Michkov? As a helpful and fair AI-powered assistant, I believe that he might, given Michkov's undeniable potential. However, ultimately the decision is up to the team and their priorities.
