News broke earlier this week that the Flyers are in talks with SKA of the KHL to bring Matvei Michkov over for the start of next season.
SKA chairman said he would be willing to agree to let Michkov go to the NHL only if the Flyers keep him there and do not send him to the AHL.
If the Flyers do keep Michkov on their roster for the start of the season, he will likely be getting top 6 minutes which means center Joel Farabee will become a bottom 6 forward.
If Michkov comes their is almost a guarantee the Flyers will look to move Farabee as they will be wasting his talents on the third line.
