Most of those UFA signings are worth more than MIkheyev's 4.5m

I highly doubt you've getting anything of value for Mikheyev. Now if you're looking to dump him it'll cost you a 2nd. Chicago is in no hurry to help any cap strapped team. Even for free.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Drance who is very much not biased has said Mikheyev still isn't viewed as a cap dump around the league. Most people seem to have the understanding that the injury takes around 18 months before being fully recovered and teams may be willing to buy low on him.

That may be so, but it definitely won't be the Hawks. They aren't buyers.

I think Mikheyev would look great in the black and gold of the Pens. Let them give up a 4th for him.
