Rapport : les Canucks travaillent pour déplacer Mikheyev
22 Comments
Not exactly news, but shared because it’s the first I’ve seen it mentioned that the team is trying to avoid attaching a sweetener:
>Teams are asking the Canucks to attach an asset to Mikheyev in order to take on the contract, Seravalli reports. The Canucks are reportedly balking at that, though, noting that Mikheyev was coming off a torn ACL and should be better in 2024-25.
Thank god lol. I really like Mikheyev the player but at 4.75mill he would need to be in the top-6 to be cost effective and he just hasn’t been good enough. At that price with the position the canucks are in he is a must trade imo
Incoming Patrick laine :)!
Doubt any team will want him without any asset back. Alvin basically has to pray and take his own advice and hope he should be better for next season since that ACL injury.
Gonna be hard to move him tbh.
Waiting for another Corey Perry incident from the Blackhawks so we can take advantage
Move where? Abbotsford?
Van really doesn’t much capital to start attaching sweeteners to Mikheyev, so I wonder if they look to trade a player with positive value as a means to move off of Mikheyev.
Like if a team is willing to give you a 2nd + for a player you value (Garland/Hoglander/Soucy), and those picks are enough to move Mikheyev…
Do you do it?
I like him but at 4.75 million he’s not giving the Canucks what they need. Especially considering all the time he got in the top six this year. As long as it’s not a premium assest, I would be more than okay trading him.
It’s Seravalli, do we actually trust him or is he just giving an opinion? Like his opinion that Petey never saw any doctors?
It’s likely the Canucks are looking at their options with Mik but are we treating Seravalli as a reliable Canucks source?
In other news, obvious things are obvious
Raty or Podz is probably a fair price to move him whether the team and fan base can stomach it is another question.
I could also see a scenario where we acquire a similar » bad « contract in exchange.
Pageau and Ristolainen are guys we’ve been linked to in the past and I could see a deal there making sense even if we still add minor pieces.
Can’t say I am surprised, but if Canucks were able to trade Pearson for DeSmith, then let the chef cook!
Sure! Here’s a conditional 7th rounder.
Can’t wait to watch us deal him away with a draft pick attached only to watch him have a bounce back year.
I’d rather just roll the dice on keeping him and hoping he bounces back from his ACL tear.
You would essentially have to trade him for another teams problem or bad value contract, so it depends ultimately on what you are taking back… I think he’s a prime candidate for a bounce back a year and a half out from knee surgery, so I would not be moving him with such little term left
He’s not all washed up as a player. Who is going to be surprised if he has a bounce-back season? Nobody. It’s a story line every year, players bouncing back after surgery and mental struggles. Just look at Boeser.
It’s very possible or even likely that his trade value will be way higher by the trade deadline than it is right now. Moving him is not urgent unless his cap must be moved but the cap crunch doesn’t get super bad until next summer. So managing assets for max value I hope is on the table.
He sucked offensively all season but they were still among the best teams in the league so I hope patience is on the table at least as an option.
I really trust this management to do the right thing with him. They’re not just going to dump him for nothing. I don’t mind keeping him either and giving him a chance at redemption
Move him with a 2nd rounder and be done with it. It’s time to make a top 9 that every team will fear.
I rather just roll the dice that he can’t possibly be any worse than pay an asset to get rid of him.
Maybe teams like san jose sharks would give him a chance
Problem solved. Feed two birds with one scone.
Mikheyev and a 4th round pick to Carolina for rights to Guentzel.
They get an asset with a player and we get a kick at the can for an elite winger for Petey.
