The KHL season has just begun for SKA St. Petersburg, the team of the phenomenon Matvei Michkov.

Obviously, with everything that has happened since the 2023 draft, which created a lot of buzz with his non-selection by the Montreal Canadiens, the career of the Russian forward will always be closely followed by fans and team analysts.

In the first game of the new season, there is already a controversial situation involving the seventh overall pick of the Philadelphia Flyers, as he was scratched from his team's starting lineup.

One of the points of focus regarding Michkov's potential selection was the risk associated with his development, as the Tricolore would have had no control over the treatment reserved for their prospect.

However, it seems that things are already getting tough for the Flyers who will be powerless against such decisions coming from the Russian team. It's only the first duel of the season, but let's say it doesn't really bode well for what's to come.

Even Ivan Demidov, a 17-year-old player who has not yet been drafted in the NHL, was in the starting lineup and had a role on the team's 4th line. According to some, Demidov took Michkov's place for the first game.

This naturally raises serious questions about what is to come for him.
