News broke yesterday that it seems like prospect Matvei Michkov will be freed from his KHL contract and will be able to play for the Flyers next season.
According to SKA head coach, the deal is not done yet and Michkov will only be able to play for the Flyers if they guarantee him a spot of their first line next season.
SKA Head Coach: "If Michkov does not play on Philadelphia's first line, he will return to SKA."
"There is no official decision yet. And we can't say that we are letting anyone go. You see, this is a serious question. We can talk about some agreements, including rights. You know that Michkov is a high-level player. And if someone wants to buy these rights, let's discuss."
"I don't want to reveal a commercial secret. But you understand that we invested a lot in Matvey. And if he does not become the leader of Philadelphia, then we will definitely wait for him back in the KHL.
And I will emphasize that this whole story was influenced by Michkov's family situation. We need to support him in this. This is not a hockey issue, but a family issue. And we all must support Matvey."

This is a tough decision to make for the Flyers as it is hard to determine where Michkov will be playing next year before he has even skated with the team.
