The Philadelphia Flyers are attempting to develop a working relationship with Matvei Michkov while avoiding a situation similar to Cutter Gauthier, who was traded and later became a star elsewhere. Flyers general manager Daniel Briere faces challenges in managing Michkov's role within the organization. The team does not appear eager to trade the 21-year-old winger at this time, though concerns exist about his recent conflicts with teammates.
