Flyers Select Matvei Michkov With The No. 7 Pick
1 year agoThe Philadelphia Flyers have selected Matvei Michkov with the seventh overall pick of the 2023 NHL Draft. The young Russian is widely believed to be one of the top talents in the draft but his status was hindered due to international concerns with Russia and the suspicious death of his father recently. Nonetheless, the Flyers have added a wildly skilled prospect to their pipeline as Michkov recorded nine goals and 20 points across 27 games with Sochi of the Kontinental Hockey League in Russia last season. The winger could be an impact player in the NHL sooner than players picked ahead of him Wednesday but his immediate future likey remains in Russia.
