Flyers coach Rick Tocchet says winger Matvei Michkov has not asked for a trade, calling the report untrue.
The report, relayed by ESPN's Kevin Weekes, said Michkov would likely want a change of scenery amid the Flyers' struggles. GM Danny Briere said Michkov and his agent both denied the report, and Michkov told reporters he is happy to be in Philadelphia. The Flyers have lost 15 of their first 20 games, and Michkov leads the team with 10 goals.
