I'm not high on Engvall, so I don't care either way on him.
But doesn't make much sense to move Mikheyev at this point. Ritchie and Bunting aren't sure things, so Mikheyev is insurance if either of them struggles. Kase obviously has had injury concerns, so Mikheyev is insurance if he was out.
And then add in the fact, that Mikheyev is definitely better than Brooks and Simmonds (at least), so moving him means one or both of those guys being in the lineup instead, makes the Leafs worse.
And he's a very good PK'er.
