ESPN analyst Rachel Kryshak (formely Doerrie) joins PHLY Flyers' Bill Matz to break down the development of Matvei Michkov and what the future could look like for one of hockey’s most exciting young stars, a discussion based on her recent article "Which under-25 NHL players need a change-of-scenery trade?" Bill and Rachel discuss whether Michkov has been put in the best position to succeed, the challenges of player development at the NHL level, and how Tocchet's coaching decisions and relationship with players can impact a franchise cornerstone.
Plus, we explore hypothetical trade packages involving Auston Matthews and discuss what it would take for a franchise player of his caliber to be moved in today’s NHL. Would any team be willing to pay the price? And what would a realistic blockbuster deal actually look like?
