Could Michkov's Contract Also Be Terminated?
The announcement came with the obvious question of whether or not something similar could happen with Flyers' 7th overall pick Matvei Michkov, who is under contract with SKA until 2026. The Flyers knew this when drafting him, and were okay with allowing him to develop in the KHL in Russia.
However, Michkov has been recently lighting it up, so it's likely the Flyers might get antsy in awaiting the debut of their new prospect.
Now terminate Michkov's contract and sign him to a one year extension.
Matvei Michkov scores AGAIN, this time against his former KHL team.
