Michkov Joins Philadelphia Flyers
Last Wednesday, the news of Matvei Michkov joining the Philadelphia Flyers sent ripples through the hockey community. Michkov, a Russian prodigy, was touted as a high-ranking contender in the 2023 draft class. However, his existing contract in Russia and alleged "attitude problems" caused his ranking to drop.
Insight from a Former Teammate
Ray Whitney, an ex-NHL player, offered some perspective. He shared that one of Michkov's previous teammates in Russia had several concerns about the young player. It seems that the issue of Michkov's attitude has been a recurring theme.
"He disregards advice from seasoned players and coaches, even laughing at them and dismissing their guidance. He is solely driven by his own will.
Despite our attempts to understand and help him, we came to the conclusion that he's simply a difficult individual." - Anonymous Teammate
