As we reported a few days after the draft, live from Las Vegas, the Flyers submitted a massive trade offer.
At least, that's what several reliable sources claim.
This rumor had already been circulating following the draft, and now young Matvei Michkov has added fuel to the fire.
Matvei Michkov wanted Ivan Demidov to join him in Philadelphia.
Clearly, General Manager Brière tried to accommodate his young star Michkov, but without success.
Let's recall what the excellent journalist Mark Scheig revealed a few weeks ago.
This was the reported offer for the fourth overall pick, and the same offer was on the table for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for the fifth overall pick.
We know how it turned out, and we love how it turned out.
The Canadiens refused all trade offers for their fifth overall pick in 2024, and they used that selection to acquire the excellent Ivan Demidov.
That's what Michkov had to say about Ivan Demidov in recent hours. Clearly, he would have liked the Flyers to acquire his compatriot Demidov.
One thing is certain: these two will be extremely interesting to follow in the coming years in the National Hockey League.
