Flyers prospect Matvei Michkov loaned to HC Sochi after only skating six minutes in first four games of KHL season

Matvei Michkov has not had the start to his 2023-24 KHL season that he would have wanted. The 18-year-old Philadelphia Flyers prospect was scratched for SKA St. Petersburg’s KHL season opener on September 3 and his fortunes have not really changed since.

Through four games, Michkov played only once. In his only appearance, a game against Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod, Michkov played just over six minutes (6:12). That has led SKA St. Petersburg sending the young forward back on loan to HC Sochi for the rest of the season.

Michkov made the same move last year after playing just three KHL games for SKA St. Petersburg.

Flyers staff caught on hot mic mocking reporter during Garnet Hathaway’s introductory press conference

Garnet Hathaway’s first press conference as a Philadelphia Flyer went viral, but not for reasons the organization wanted. After signing a two-year deal with the Flyers on the first day of free agency, Hathaway answered questions from assembled media in an introductory Zoom meeting on Tuesday.

When it was Giana Han from Philadelphia Inquirer’s turn, she asked Hathaway what drew him to join a team that is in the midst of a clear rebuild. As Han asked her question, a member of the Flyers’ staff was caught ridiculing her on a hot mic in a since-deleted stream on the team’s social media.

Former Capital Garnet Hathaway signs two-year deal with Philadelphia Flyers

Garnet Hathaway is returning to the Metropolitan Division.

The former Capital signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers on the first day of free agency that will pay him $2.375 million per season.

Not only do the Flyers get a shutdown forward that has some scoring pop, but their team goonery and chippiness levels will now be off the charts.

Philadelphia Flyers select Matvei Michkov seventh overall after rumors suggest Capitals were pursuing him

The Washington Capitals selected talented 18-year-old winger Ryan Leonard out of the U-18 USA Hockey National Team Development Program with the eighth overall pick. But all reports ahead of Draft Day suggested the Capitals were pursuing Matvei Michkov — a top three talent who was predicted to slide down the draft board due to KHL contract and geopolitical issues.

Michkov, who wore a red suit and tie to Bridgestone Arena, did indeed slide as hockey insiders predicted, but he did not fall to the Capitals. Instead, the Philadelphia Flyers, who were rumored to be focused on Leonard, snatched up the right wing one pick before the Caps at seven.

Philadelphia Flyers reportedly listening to trade offers for multiple of their top-six forwards

The Philadelphia Flyers, under general manager Danny Briere, have commenced a rebuild. Briere kicked that off last Tuesday when he sent defenseman Ivan Provorov to the Columbus Blue Jackets and received multiple draft picks and other futures in return.

That rebuild is certainly not done after just one trade and rumors are swirling about multiple of the Flyers’ top-six forwards being on the move this summer. Namely, Travis Konecny, Scott Laughton, and Kevin Hayes.

According to The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun, Eric Duhatschek and Michael Russo’s latest offseason trade board update and The Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravali’s similar post, all three players are being shopped by Briere.
