"The Flyers management doesn't hide their desire to have Matvei join them and try his luck in the NHL. However, if a player leaves before the end of his contract, he must have a clause stating that he can return here if the Flyers want to send him to the American Hockey League. It's too early to talk about it because he is under contract with SKA, and Philadelphia has assured us that they will not commit any violations of contractual rights. I think we will first discuss all options with him (Michkov). We will also talk to the Flyers' management with whom we have a very good relationship. A decision will be made by the end of June at the latest."
