What's newMatvei Michkov said he is happy in Philadelphia, and coach Rick Tocchet dismissed the report that the winger would welcome a trade.

Matvei Michkov said Wednesday he is happy with the Philadelphia Flyers and is focused on playing hockey after a report suggested he would welcome a move. Asked about his future before the Flyers played the Edmonton Oilers, Michkov said he was not following the reports.

Coach Rick Tocchet dismissed the report in Edmonton. General manager Daniel Brière told Sportsnet the Flyers have never discussed trading Michkov and have received no trade request from his agent. ESPN’s Kevin Weekes reported Tuesday that the winger would likely welcome a move.

Michkov also said he and teammate Nick Seeler had moved past their bench exchange during Monday’s 3–1 win in Vancouver. The 21-year-old winger has 10 goals and four assists in 20 games this season.
