Michkov who suited up for St. Peterburg SKA as well as Sochi HC the last three seasons will be a welcome addition to a Flyers organization who looks to be in the midst of a rebuild. While earlier this summer general manager Daniel Briere was non-commital or just unsure as to whether Mitchkov would ever see North America again, the work to have him come over appears to be over.
It should be noted that Michkov is now being represented by CAA management and although unknown and wildly speculative, this could be a large reason as to why a deal was able to get done to bring the nineteen year old stateside as early as he was able too.
