Head coach of SKA Romain Rotenberg explained why the club agreed to release the striker Matveya Michkova to the National Hockey League.
On Tuesday, SKA announced Michkov’s departure to the NHL, where he will join Philadelphia, which drafted him seventh overall in 2023. The rights to him in the KHL go to the St. Petersburg club.
— Matvey Michkov leaves for Philadelphia. We carefully analyzed the situation and decided to meet Matvey halfway.
In addition, we have great respect for the memory of his father, who worked for SKA. He did a lot to develop his son’s talent. It is known that Andrei Michkov dreamed that Matvey would one day play in the NHL. We will not put any obstacles in the way of realizing this dream.
It is important that in the KHL Matvey wants to play only for SKA; the player’s rights remain the property of our club. We will always be ready to lend a hand to Mishkov and wish him good luck,” Rotenberg wrote on the Telegram channel.
