Philadelphia Flyers forward Matvei Michkov would prefer to be traded, league sources told ESPN's Kevin Weekes.

Michkov, the No. 7 pick in the 2023 draft, has scored a team-leading 10 goals in 20 games this season but is only averaging 15:54 per game.

Weekes cites internal turmoil as part of the reason Michkov wants a fresh start. Michkov notably appeared to get into a heated exchange with teammate Nick Seeler during Monday's game against the Vancouver Canucks.

More to come.
