Rick Tocchet denies Matvei Michkov asked Flyers for trade: "There's nothing to talk about"

Philadelphia Flyers coach Rick Tocchet denied Wednesday that winger Matvei Michkov had asked the team for a trade, calling the report untrue. Michkov also said he was happy in Philadelphia and focused on playing. The comments came before the Flyers’ game against the Edmonton Oilers, after a report suggested the young Russian might want a change of scenery. He leads the team with 10 goals this season.
