Tolvanen and Kuznetsov scored their points in their D+1 seasons while Michkov did it in his draft season. His D+1 season was better than both Tolvanen's and Kuznetsov's. It was the best ever by PPG actually for all D+1 players in the KHL history.

I would rather he come at the end of next season (2025) because they have many picks esp in the first two rounds in next year's supposedly deep draft so I would prefer they be a bottom third team so they can draft the future nucleus to put around #39!!!

Michkov said that he was looking forward to the Flyers 2024 camp and expects to make the team. His agent tweeted it. The tweet was quickly taken down when the error was realized. He has to be really careful about how he leaves Russia. They aren't a free nation and if they don't want him to leave, he'll have to sneak out of the country.

As soon as he realized that he was putting Michkov in physical danger, he took it down. So, the source would be second hand from Michkov.

@@tonybleau6219 Yeah. I know someone that said they saw the "tweet" (I don't know what to call it now that it's "X") and he's a guy I trust. But, who knows? He could be full of shit. We'll see. As a Flyers fan, I'm hoping it's true. He was ranked higher than Bedard for awhile, then Michkov got mono and loaned to a terrible team. It killed his ranking. However, in the pre-draft interviews, supposedly, he asked other teams not to draft him and asked the Flyers to take him. So from the rumor mill, it seems he really wants to be part of their rebuild and play next season. I'm not him or his agent so I can only go off second hand stuff. I'd love to have a screen cap of it or something to have definitive evidence.... but..... you know. It is what it is.

Yes, the reason was simply he did not want to compete or have to play in the AHL. He believed on this current Flyers team he deserved to be a top 6 forward and wouldn’t be willing to try to “earn” a spot. And Briere wanted to sign both Michkov and Cutter around the same time to save $ and create a good team.

Hadn't heard that one before, interesting theory. I still think it has more to do with the decision to "make" the team and "play" was going to be up to him and his agent. When the Flyers have coaches in place to do just that. It's their decision, or simply put, the tail doesn't wag the dog. Because management has a better idea what's best for the team, getting everyone to be available at the same time, with regards to salaries, cap etc.
