Earlier this week, we learned some rather worrying news about Matvei Michkov.
The young Russian was involved in a road accident in Dubai…
The details (which you can read right here) may worry many, but the most important thing is to find out how Michkov is currently doing and what the consequences have been.
Earlier today, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Daniel Brière appeared on RDS’s 5 à 7 .
He took the opportunity to talk about the draft (the Flyers will talk 6th), but more importantly, he also gave some news about Michkov’s state of health.
Good news for the Flyers and the club’s #49, the Russian was not injured in the road accident, while his friend lost control of the car.

At the end of the day, while many may not necessarily like the type of person Michkov is, the last thing we want is for a player to get injured, especially during the off-season vacations.
However, we don’t necessarily have all the official details of this story.
After all, according to Russian journalist Alexey Sevchenko, there were alcohol and document problems involved…
However, once the story has been cleared up, we can understand that the real victim in all this is Mishkov. That’s what Mishkov’s lawyer says.
It’s the company that rented the car to Mishkov that took advantage of Mishkov’s fortune and omitted important details, while illegally keeping the passports of the guys involved.
Fortunately for the young Flyers star, he’s doing well.
