Oh boy:

**Breaking News** 🚨 📰

From multiple league sources, with the Flyers unimpressive start and internal turmoil, Michkov would likely want a new start elsewhere. He's in the last year of his contract & is a prime trade candidate moving forward. #HockeyX pic.twitter.com/4mYzKiN42G

“Given the Flyers’ difficult start to the season, some internal discord, I’m told from multiple league sources that it’s the preference of star forward, young forward, their leading goal scorer, Matvei Michkov, it’s his preference to have a fresh start elsewhere. Given those factors, keep in mind he is a free agent at season’s end and is a very, very much in-demand potential trade target.”

How many muckers and grinders do you think the Flyers can get for Matty Ice before he walks?

This is a developing news story!
