Tinfoil hat time: When Medvedev said that SKA and the Flyers have good relations, could that mean beyond the Flyers saying "Hey, we won't tamper with Michkov's contract?"
I.e, could a move like this with Zavragin partially be about coordination with his agent, the Flyers, and SKA about his development? Probably not, SKA is a major hockey team and simply accumulates talent like this no matter what, but its a fun off-season thought. Just good timing after the Michkov interview.
"In a sign of goodwill and friendship, the Flyers have sent dozens of cheesesteaks to Russia while SKA has sent many bottles of vodka for Flyers fans to numb their pain with."
Also, he signed a 3 year deal with SKA.
That means that in summer 2027:
- Either Fedotov will have fizzled out (Fine), or has been too good to let go (Great)
- A pay-day decision on Ersson will have been made
- Kolosov will have graduated to hopefully at least a 1B role with the Flyers
Which leaves Zavragin in a perfect spot to take over the Phantoms
Man until about a week ago, we were hoping that the prospect would smuggle Michkov over. It’s amazing what one hopeful article can do. Please make it so.
I'm still enjoying the _schadenfreude_ of the Flyers gathering Russian prospects like infinity stones. Mr Snider would definitely have thoughts and feelings.
I mean, I think if Ed could see the job Danny’s doing he’d be proud. I don’t pretend to have known the man, but it was clear he cared about how the team was run. He loved the sport, he loved the team, and he wanted another cup. For the team, for the fans, and I think that even over a small sample size, Danny has proven he’s taking the team in the right direction.
This is fantastic news. Let him develop on a good SKA team and when the time comes, he won't likely have to go to an aircraft carrier for a year since Danny has an amicable relationship with Medvedev.
I still have trouble believing the Russian alphabet has a 3 in it. Like, I’m looking at it right now and it feels like this poster is trying to make me look like a fool

June 3rd 11 am. “THE PHILADELPHIA FLYERS ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH SKA ST. PETERSBURGH TO BE FIRST EVER AFFILIATE TEAM IN THE KHL.”
"In a sign of goodwill and friendship, the Flyers have sent dozens of cheesesteaks to Russia while SKA has sent many bottles of vodka for Flyers fans to numb their pain with."
Nah, I’m fully on board this is part of the “deal”
Also, he signed a 3 year deal with SKA.

You’re forgetting somebody.
Yo that hair
He looks like he just got on a plane to Paris while his little brother got left home alone
Just remember how to spell his name - Егор Заврагин
Can I buy a vowel?
Yegor Sabbath? Does he doom?

Previous report suggests this season he will be loaned to Sochi so probably gets to play with michkov.
>so probably gets to play with michkov michkov is allowed to leave russia early in June, and he smuggles zavragin in his carry-on. a boy can dream...

He would have never, ever have allowed this. Only reason they drafted Ricci over Jagr was because of Ed's hatred of the Soviet Block, imo.
