maybe, if the player being dumped is literally unplayable. mikheyev is still a serviceable middle 6 forward

He's barely putting up 3rd line production but is being paid like a 2nd line player, I wouldn't call 30 points serviceable. If he was on the last year of his deal then a 2nd would do, but he's not.

mikheyev's 30 5v5 points last season would have been tied with vtrano and terry for 1st place on the ducks. his 126 shots on goal would have been 2nd on the ducks behind only vtrano.

from this perspective, every player on the ducks isnt serviceable

Puckpedia suggests $4.75Mx2 of salary retention is worth pick #21. I’d agree Mik brings some inherent value. But I think we can all agree it’s nowhere near enough to go from pick 21 to ~55 a year from now. Have to agree this isn’t close to enough.

That said, if ANA drafts Demidov and/or doesn’t land a big RW UFA, I could see Mik being worth consideration if the value is improved. Maybe like the ‘25 1st offset by a ~3rd round pick from ANA

He'd have been 2nd on the Ducks in shots taken but 9th in goals and 15th in shooting percentage? Yeah, were real interested in wasting the shots we do get on net by taking that problem contract off your hands.

only mctavish (12) and vtrano (17) had more 5v5 goals than mikheyev (11) this season. mikheyev would actually be a boost to anaheims 5v5 play considering he is a high end defensive player who scores and shoots better than most of the ducks at even strength.

that calculator on puckpedia assumes the goal of the receiving team is simply to gain the pick and the player coming back as 0 value to them. infact, it actually assumes that the cap hit being acquired is retain salary as a 3rd party vroker, not taking on a useful player. again, based on mikheyevs play, its hard to argue he would be anything other than a top 6 calibre player on the ducks this coming season

i agree canucks will need to pay to unload him, but the idea it would cost a 1st seems kind of ridiculous. recently, we have seen multi year cap dumps of players like taylor hall for no cost (2x6 million) nikita Zaitsev for a 2nd and a 4th (2 x 4.5m), matt murray for a 3rd and a 7th (4.6875 x 2), shayne ghostibere for a 2nd and a 7th (2x4.5 million), and peter mrazak which as a 1st and 2nd round swap - 13 spots down in the draft (3.8 x 2 million).

why would mikheyev cost more than any of these

In the general NHL discussion thread, there are posts mentioning how Hronek avoided the media all year, and was petulant in the few times he was dragged in front of it. Additionally, it was discussed that Hronek’s numbers were inflated from playing with Hughes and did not play well without him. Given that Toronto has the most intense media scrutiny in the NHL and has a lack of high caliber D-men like Hughes (other than Morgan Rielly), this trade could turn out to be a disaster for the Leafs, even when you throw in a future draft pick (despite the Leafs being in win-now mode) and some guy I’ve almost never heard of. Not to mention, the author of this ACGM is a Canucks fan.

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.

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

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. If you disagree, that’s awesome. You guys just don’t have a buyer in ANA 🤷‍♂️

I vaguely recall his name from somewhere, I couldn’t tell you what or why. If I had to guess, it was probably from a recent draft

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

Don't let him talk to the media then. Play him with Mo every shift. I don't care. When you have the opportunity to get an elite RHD like him, you jump at it. Not to mention a top 5 prospect in the league and a 1st on top of that

We’re really going in circles here. We can agree to disagree. Nobody in ANA wants Mik, no matter how hard you try to talk him up, just like nobody in VAN wants him.

You offered a 2nd to dump him, and not a single ANA fan is interested. Thats just the reality, no matter how many niche stats you share. We’ve seen him play, we can read stats for ourselves. We don’t want him, and a late 2nd in ‘25 hasn’t changed anyone’s mind. I wish you guys well, and recommend SJ or CHI instead 🤷‍♂️

Toronto wouldn't take Hronek if he was free. His contract is likely to be a massive overpay, he is HORRIBLE under pressure (look at his playoff numbers or the way he is sheltered from then later melted before the media).

Hugely overrated. Got 2 points in 6 AHL games. He gets loads of PP points but is highly ineffective at 5v5. Definetly not an A+ prospect. More of a B+ guy. Honestly I'd put all these guys ahead of him:

Clarke

Still a great guy to have in your system. Just massively overrated by OP.

He's your second best prospect after Willander who could become a stud #2 RHD. Would love to see him with Hughes in a few years.
