general manager “Philadelphia Cream” Daniel Brière has guaranteed that the Russian striker Matvey Mishkov will begin the 2024/25 NHL season.
On Monday, Philadelphia signed the 19-year-old Russian forward to a three-year, entry-level contract.
“Honestly, there’s no one in our organization that matches him in terms of skill,” reporter Charlie O’Connor quoted Brier as saying on social media.
However, Briere also stressed that the hockey player will have to earn his playing time.
In addition, the general manager said that Michkov might not arrive at the club before the opening of training camp. But it will be “Michkov’s decision” if he “wants to arrive earlier.”
Philadelphia selected the Russian seventh overall in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. On June 25, the St. Petersburg club of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) SKA announced the hockey player’s departure.
