[Seravalli] Ilya Mikheyev n’a pas encore formellement accepté de renoncer à sa clause de non-échange pour aller aux #Blackhawks, mais s’il le fait, les équipes ont conclu un accord sur un échange : Aux Blackhawks : Ilya Mikheyev, 2e choix, en attendant UFA Sam Lafferty. Aux Canucks : 4e choix

Listen Ilya, I’m going to need you to waive that a NTC.
LET THIS MAN COOK!
Absolutely banger trade are you kidding me
Unreal. Downgrade a 2nd to a 4th and get 2 years of Mikheyev off the books.
🧑🍳 Alvin
Allvin getting a fourth back. Masterclass dish about to be served
If it’s chicago’s 4th then that’s almost a late 3rd!!
Okay I like this a lot more now, given how bad Chicago is, were really only moving ~50 spots down in the draft
Allvin and company are gods. I get they signed Ilya and he didn’t work (their first mistake so far), but trades like this to make cap space when their other moves like Z and Dakota do work are incredible.
Allvin about to work his magic like he did with Kuzy to waive.
The chef just got value out of UFA rights. What a fucking stud
if he doesn’t waive, go the goodrow route for the good ol waive and claim
I doubt Ilya is going to decline to waive, when his *agent* has been working on the trade.
Seems like a formality he’d waive, if this was theoretically brokered by Milstein.
Man please accept this trade Ilya.. Huge if he does
So assuming this gets done, Alvin is probably having Joshua Myers and Zadorov on standby to try and land us guentzel, and use the rest of that cap space for the three
We got more for Mikheyev and an expiring Lafferty than the Red Wings got for Jake Walman
oh my GOD ALLVIN IS WORKING MAGIC
If he doesn’t waive his NTC, the Canucks can waive him and the Blackhawks can still claim him off waivers (2nd highest waiver priority, so he is pretty much going to end up there unless the Sharks claim him) and we can still trade the second round pick plus rights to Lafferty in a separate trade.
Makes a ton of sense, frees up 5m for two years. Sucks to give up a 2nd but the timeline of that 2nd round pick, if it even works out, playing for us is 3-5 years down the road, which I don’t think fits this teams window. Gotta try to compete within these next three years especially
Oh that’s like pretty good actually. Basically trading down two rounds to dump almost 5 mil. Especially when you consider Detroit got nothing back for dumping a better guy who made less money
ALLVIN the michelin star cook
Ilya I swear to god you better waive
We’re gonna be prospects-poor with no 1st or 2nd two years in a row, but if this turns out to be Mikheyev + Lafferty + 2nd for Guentzel + Zadorov + 4th then I don’t give a fuuuuck lol
JR/Allvin saw the grease go all the way to the finals after barely escaping us and said, fuck it lets go all in lol.
Damn. I was worried about giving up a straight up second for the cap space. But getting a fourth in return? Yeah Allvin is cooking fr. And let’s be real Lafferty’s negotiation rights have next to no value for us anyways.
Me so horny
Considering Detroit spent a 2nd to dump a cheaper and better player without getting anything in return this is great value
PLEASE COOK, SOUS CHEF MILSTEIN
I don’t know guys Mikheyev is a fast skater. We may need something to make this deal easier to swallow. ^Bedard
2024 – No first (Lindholm trade) or second (traded to NYI) round pick this year; we start at pick #93.
2025 – we have no second or third (DeSmith trade) round picks.
This will be in tough on our 20th-ranked prospect pool.

People seem chill giving up lafferty. I understand it. But Ill miss his edge.
