The Philadelphia Flyers have drafted Russian winger Matvei Michkov with the 7th-overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. Rachel Donner of Locked On Flyers joins Gil Martin and Hadi Kalakeche to react to the pick, discuss why Michkov’s longer timeline for joining the league is not much of a concern for the Flyers as they enter a rebuild under new GM Danny Briere, and why this pick should have Flyers fans feeling very excited.

Fantastic pick!
YES! THIS MADE MY DAY. WE NEED AN HIGH SKILL PLAYER! I WAS HOPING FOR THIS FOR 3 WEEKS. 😁
Like Jalen Carter, Michkov was "NOT going to get pass Philly!!! They have a great shot at another decent player at 22 and with 2 first rounders next year, along with Cutter Gauthier, the future looks very bright!!! We potentially have not one but TWO stars with MM & Cutter…UNREAL!!! Keep it up Danny!!!
We have a long history with the broad street bullys😂🇨🇦🇺🇸
Reggie Leach 😂🇨🇦🇺🇸
Julius erving DR.J 😆🇨🇦🇺🇸
When are you making your second video about the flyer second first round pick?
After the NHL draft is over then is it next for free agency in the NHL if you don’t mind me asking
You can’t pass up a player like this I thought initially he was a risk but when the time came and he was available I’m glad they took him
Would have liked them to grab a different player other than Oliver Bonk at 22
Tell him to bring Ivan Fedatov with him
Good with it as long as we get him over here
