Mikheyev isn't that close yet, but I'd certainly consider it if Ritchie still hasn't hit his stride in the next month or so.
1. He shouldn't play with Tavares (JT is more effective with decent speed on his wings)
2. He can't play with Kampf on the checking line
3. He doesn't fit that well on the 4th line (they are way more ineffective with no speed on either wing).
So if he's on the roster, and not earning that top LW spot, he really doesn't fit.
