Double Olympic hockey champion Alexander Kozhevnikov believes that the Russian hockey player Matvey Mishkov rushed to leave for the NHL club Philadelphia Flyers .
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.
– I think he was in a hurry. He has a great desire to play in the NHL. But I don’t rule out that agents convinced him to leave. Let’s see what he can do. God grant that everything works out for him. Of course, he left too soon. Yes, the guy is talented, but not always stable.
I don’t know what he feels. It is clear that he has character if he decides to move. God grant that it is not in vain. But I have doubts about his decision.
He certainly won’t win the competition right away. Of course they will help him, but I think he will be sent to a farm club first. He is a talented guy, but you need to practice the game anyway,” Kozhevnikov said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
Michkov played for Sochi on loan last season, where he played in 47 matches and scored 41 points (19 goals and 22 assists).
