<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>If it's so easy to make these futures for players that fill needs. How about the Jets let Vancouver do that and see what they come up with and then they can talk?</div></div>

my friend that is literally what i am doing in this agm.

also, if you want a real example, in january 2023 the canucks traded bo horvat for beauvillier, aatu raty, and a 1st. they then traded that 1st round pick in march 2023 for hronek. vancouver effectively swaped a centre into a defenseman, a winger, and a prospect.

or, how about in november 2023, when vancouver traded beauvillier away for a 5th round draft pick, and then traded that 5th rounder plus a 2026 3rd for zadorov? effectively swapping a winger for a defensmen.

net value is horvat plus a 2nd and a 3rd netted vancouver hronek, raty, zadorov and a 4th, spanning 4 trades in 11 months

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ginandtacos</b></div><div>He has 2 goals in 30 career playoff games (with 2 assists!) and a terrible contract, he's rated exactly as what he is: a cap dump or a guy you grudgingly play on the 3rd line who disappears in any game that matters.</div></div>

mikheyev had 30 5v5 points this season, which would have been second on the black hawks only behind bedard. he plays a strong defensive game and uses his length adn speed very well on the forcheck.

his biggest weakness is his streaky goal scoring, with only 11 goals on 147 shots this season (7.48 s%) but 14.29% s% in each of the 2 seasons prior.

his career average is 10.17% shooting percentage. its very reasonable to assume his scoring will tick up next season probably up to 15 goals and 35-40 points depending on deployment. and again, this all while being a very reliable defensive player and forchecker.

you are underrating him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jded</b></div><div>I’m not sure you read my reply. I stated literally everything you said in the 2nd paragraph outside of your last sentence, which frankly is pretty ridiculous.

Our top 6 for next season is likely: Leo, McT, Zegras, Gauthier, Terry, and a Vatrano ($3.6M). I don’t think anyone who watches hockey needs to look at a stat sheet to pretend that Mikheyev doesn’t come close to any of those players in value, skill, etc.

<strong>A 30 pt season (5v5 or not) is ‘meh’ production for a 3rd liner</strong>, and outright poor production for a 2nd liner. Thats just a fact. Making that worse is is c<strong>omplete lack of contribution to special teams (ineffective on the PK</strong>, can’t earn power play time) and worst of all <strong>doesn’t show up to big games (0 points in 11 playoff games this year, 11 in 82 in his career)</strong>. He’s being dumped in literally every single VAN ACGM for a reason.

<strong>Again, we can’t pretend his value is a complete dump. But he’s worth half his current contract. Even half his contract retained for 2 seasons is worth pick #26 overall.</strong> If you disagree, that’s awesome. You guys just don’t have a buyer in ANA 🤷‍♂️</div></div>

129 forwards scored 30 or more 5v5 points last season, or about 4 per team. that means that, one average, ily mikheyev would have been about 4th or 5th on a team in 5v5 scoring in the nhl. doesnt seem like "outright poor" 2nd line production for a player not on PP1.

as for special teams, i will concede mikheyev is not a great power play option. but on the pk, he was one of vancouvers best shot suppressors and goal suppressors amongst all their forwards who averaged at least 45 seconds a game short handed. yeah, hes probably a 2nd unit pk guy, but still he offers a lot of utility there. pk is an asset, not a detriment for him

lack of power play production is a fair point, and no doubt the reason why i think the canucks should trade him. however, i think teams who are willing to take on a cap dump (anaheim, chicago, san jose, etc.) arent vewry concerned about playoff production.

finally, why is mikheyev a 1st round pick to dump, but no player with a similar contract to his as ever cost a 1st rounder to dump before? expecially when considering, once again, that mikheyev is actually a good thrid line player and probable top 6 on anaheim
