[@nobuddy2012]

Yes. Please yes. A bag of used practice pucks is better than a buy out.

[@user-dh4rq7bo3b]

Trade for some picks and use those picks and some other assets to get a better winger.

[@baiqi44]

We'll be lucky if a team would take a 6th round pick of ours to get rid of him. No one is giving us any picks for Mikheyev. In fact, we'll likely have to give away a 2nd rounder just to get rid of him.

[@lgreaper3237]

Could be the next grabner for the islanders

[@canucksingh7039]

I liked his defensive play. He's worth alot more than a 50 percent retained. I'd only take be 25 percent max.

[@Orangejuicer297]

I've never seen a more gifted and talented athlete be so, so bad at the same time. It's just an absolute roller coaster when he has the puck.

[@lachlananderson8470]

VIDEO IDEA: Talk about the next top prospects and where/when you could see them sliding into the line-up.

[@nicholaslouie7590]

Trade him for a 3rd and a 4th round pick, and call it a day.

[@baiqi44]

No one is dumb enough to give us a draft pick for that guy. We have to give a draft pick away (again) to get rid of him like we did with Jason Dickinson.

[@LeonExile05]

Meaning we give the draft picks to get rid of him, yes?

[@wuhaninstituteofvirology]

@@baiqi44never trade away draft picks to offload a guy - just nancy kerrigan his knee caps & put him on LTIR , then bring up some rookies to fill the void

[@omfg322]

the only way the canucks can keep most of the guys around is if he and cole leave. Trade a 2nd and 3rd if you have to.

[@davidbond3107]

Your so correct. Hopefully Alvin gets it.. Think he does.

[@rubberduckie5518]

Patrik is taking accountability for the Mikheyev signing. Seems it was his idea, not Jim’s, but Jim trusted him. 100% he’s planning on acquiring some top 6 forwards.

[@killgil1322]

We’ve all seen players like him before. He’ll be awesome in another team.

[@FlavorCountryUSA]

Mikhayev might be the Maxim Afinogenov of this era.

[@JR_40]

whT happened to this guy before new year he was playing great

[@MrSeaneboy]

What happens if Mikheyev scores on that chance in game 7 vs Oil? He's the opposite of clutch, give him away to clear cap space.

[@2Jim2u]

maybe if Vancouver wants to unload a first round pick plus ... just to get him off Vanc's payroll, like you said, his points only came at the beginning of the season.

[@Another_User_Name_]

The Islanders have some speed in Matt Barzal and Pierre Engavall. The last thing they need is another guy that can't score with a big contract.

[@davidbond3107]

He checks a lot of boxes on what he does on the ice. No hands tho.. Please trade him.

[@Ridgefall]

most skilled defender and north south skater.

[@sparky3006]

Boring

[@Pgh_heather_412]

As a pens fan, i would take him over 4 assists and no goals in 53 games Jansen Harkins or 'cant stay healthy' Matt Nieto. How about a conditional 2026th 7th round pick if the pens get him at 50% salary retention?

[@kodqre]

Give them a mikeyev for 20 timbits

[@RustGeezer]

We can trade Mikheyev as long as salary retained is less than the buyout.

[@user-qj2yb9es4b]

I have never heard Bob Cole or any other old skool hockey announcer use the word Dangle. Must be a new word or something made up in the past 15 years. Sounds very American.

[@christhornycroft3686]

Unless the Penguins go into a full rebuild, which I don't see as long as Crosby is still there, I don't see them taking on an overpaid player like that. And if they do, they'll want picks or prospects for their trouble. Some fans seem to think it's as easy as NHL 24. You set it to beginner mode and teams just give you good players for your underperforming players. Nobody is going to do the Canucks any favours. Nobody is just going to hand the Canucks cap space. This isn't the pre-cap era, where if the franchise was losing money and the GM wanted to get costs under control and rebuild, he'd just start dumping players off and he'd probably get a decent return if he was any good at negotiating. Cap space is like gold and you're paying a premium to get it. A $4.75 million cap hit is a sizeable amount, even if the cap goes up. You expect a good player for that. Yes, Ilya is solid defensively and can still skate, but he's a winger, which lowers his value, and he has zero finish around the net. If I'm paying 4.75 against the cap for a pure defensive player, it had better be a Guy Charbonneau type, an elite defensive centre, or like what Danault was in Montreal. The problem is that with the cap, they have to play Mikheyev in the top 6, which lowers Pettersson's effectiveness and creates a massive black hole in the top 6. The Canucks reminded me this season of the Oilers a few years ago minus the goaltending. 3 excellent centres, a really good defenseman (in the Canucks case a great one) and maybe one bonafide top 6 winger. You can't have that. When you have Suter and Mikheyev as top 6 wingers, that's a problem. But again, good luck finding a team that will take on his salary. And I don't like retention because the Canucks already have significant dead cap coming up in the next few years.

[@williamshortreed7609]

The dude has hands of stone. He had an empty net in game 7 and couldn't lift the puck off of the ice.. puck went wide.

[@davids9520]

Would you be saying the same things about the Canucks had they won game seven? I doubt it.

[@pardeepdhaliwal6109]

yes we would look at his stats. 1 goal in over 100 shots

[@Naughtism]

Yeah we would i was sayi gllng it all year. Guy cant put the puck in. Its like a mental block

[@johnl6277]

Well even Cup winners make trades, so the Canucks would consider trades whenever their season ends, no matter it's after 2, 3, or 4 rounds of playoffs.

[@steelpenpirate]

We will give you Graves for Mikeyhev

[@SleeCee]

Mikheyev for Graves, Yager & 1st plus, deal?

[@dansmaaslet6623]

You can have Mikheyev for a Kessel dog

[@Tfffyford]

Why send him to buffalo

[@robertmurphy5583]

It's the Tocchet system that destroys confidence. Any shot on goal must be perfect so players tend to pass endlessly rather than throw it at the net. Look for more players to be impacted by this very defensively minded coach.

[@brianw3749]

It didn’t seem to affect Brock Boeser.

[@zestplays]

@@brianw3749Because Boeser’s shooting ability is way above other players on this team

[@CashMacGregor]

what are you talking about? he begged this team to put pucks on net. he asked for an accurate shot that didn't get blocked.

[@johnl6277]

It's not Tocchet's fault that some players can't score even with a mostly opened net or in breakaways. Of course he'd want players to take accurate shots rather than having them blocked and resulting in rushes the other way.

[@carlosvangrinder3754]

Incorrect, he just wanted some net front presence so the shot had a chance. The players got that part but failed to get to the net most of the time as Tocch says they were disconnected from each other. Execution would be more accurate statement as to why they got very little shots, there defensive game was good but they didn't have much of a forecheck due to being disconnected on the offensive side of the puck. One must stay connected like the Blueger, Joshua, and Garland line did for most of the first half of the year.

[@BaoNguyen-bh2rk]

Delusional take: Mikheyev for Horvat with NYI retaining salary.

[@sparky3006]

You wish

[@ninabeeser5046]

Trade Hronek and Mikehev to the islanders for Jack and Luke Hughes lol

[@ggitslificious]

[@dallasburgess5329]

Petterson for Brady Tkachuk - thoughts?🤔

[@alphaomega6497]

Ottawa isn't stupid

[@yourhighness4-20]

Why does every team overpay for former Leafs trash players? Justin Hill $5M?, Mikheyev $4.25 M, Bunting $5 M...like why? Do teams sign these guys to spite the Leafs and deal with the regrets later because it seems to be a treand.

[@Yxds]

Watching trade rumors for Canucks is so funny enjoy golfing

[@ShawnLangford]

Yes please he is awful.
