Flyers Draft Pick Michkov Reportedly Moved from KHL Team

In recent news, it has been reported that Matvei Michkov has been moved from his KHL Team SKA St. Petersburg.

Michkov to Sochi

Recent reports have indicated that Michkov has been loaned from the KHL's SKA to HK Sochi in the KHL.





Michkov was loaned to Sochi last season from SKA St. Petersburg and played 27 games with the club. He recorded 9 goals and 11 assists during his time there. Michkov was drafted 7th overall this year by the Philidelphia Flyers, who are content with him developing his game in the KHL before hopefully coming over to the NHL in a few years.

Michkov's Trouble with Sochi

Michkov has a difficult past in Sochi, as his father was found passed away unexpectedly in the City. Some had reported that Michkov was going to be unwilling to play in Sochi due to the bad memories associated with the City.


However, he was in a terrible predicament in which he decided to either stay with SKA St. Petersburg and not play, or return to a place with bad memories. It appears he has chosen the latter, and will try to move on and continue his career development.
