Flyers Daily with Jason Myrtetus 7-15-2024

Flyers Daily with Jason Myrtetus: Monday with Bill Meltzer and Deep Dive on #39 Matvei Michkov as he set to arrive much earlier than expected. We discuss the key elements of his skillset, mindset and more and how that will translate in the NHL. Plus we discuss which boxes Michkov checks in the "7 Traits to Stardom" equation. Lastly, some dialogue on the Erik Johnson media availability from last Friday.

Some great insight into Michkov, Thanks Gents!

[@michaelnkaminis8878]

Jason, can you ask Matvei when you interview him why he chose that specific number? Would love to know the significance. Also, did you ever do a show on player numbers and great stories on why players have chosen them or odd superstitions?

[@mickbodine1278]

Michkov is amazing at protecting the puck along the walls, usually against much bigger opponents.

I wonder if Kaprizov was benched for 3 games during his 19 yo season. Michov only played like 6 min in one game that he suited up for, for SKA

[@shellysmith1037]

I think the Flyers are bordering on overhype now.

[@user-lc1hj6el1s]

For sure, we gotta stop pretending like this guy is even kaprizov good. Even if he hits it, the team has a ways to go

[@johnsparozich6839]

Michkpf is only one guy,, media building him up like he is the savior of the Flyers, this is a team game and one guy does not make a team!! Stoop building him up so much and let's see how it goes when he actually starts playing.

[@jmmedia4391]

Yeah we did state that several times. No one player fixes all of a team issues, and as we have repeatedly said, he is 19 with huge adjustments he has to navigate on and off the ice. Thx

[@mickbodine1278]

Who is talking about buying a Ferrari? This team should be selling and gaining draft assets. That is why its not a rebuild. Konecny and Laughton need to be traded now.

[@jmmedia4391]

They had 2 firsts last year, used one of the 2 firsts this year and have 3 next year. Plus you cannot rebuild with just young players. They are already the 2nd youngest team in the league and will dress 12 players under 25 this season. Do they need more high end pieces? Yes. Will they get them and the right ones? We will see.

[@user-lc1hj6el1s]

Laughton won’t get as much as of a return compared to what he brings to Philly. He won’t be traded if the proposed trade is fair value, which is a good thing
