Considering the last guy the Canucks traded to Chicago with a 2nd round pick scored 22 goals, surely the 2nd round should be returned to the Canucks for Mikheyev? 
Might score 40!

At this point being so close to July 1 there's no reason to commit.
Maybe the canes should have been more aggressive and locked him up weeks ago, or maybe he always planned on leaving but to Re-sign now would be odd timing, unless he really wants to stay but then you figure a deal would already be done.
Guess we will find out but I'm keeping my fantasy alive that he's a nuck July 1 to hell with any other team.

Vancouver getting a 4th back as well makes that deal even better for them. Just need to see if Mikheyev actually allows the trade.
Considering Detroit paid a 2nd to get out of Walman's contract with no return, getting a 4th rounder would be a decent return to secure that cap space.

At the very worst he's someone that can help Bedard defensively. At best injury related blip of a season and he roars back next year.
He's a nice dude who not once hung his head or threw in the towel during a miserable 50 game stretch.
Loved by his teammates and I hope he finds his game.

RIP Fugu
Upgraded future 4th to a future 2nd is fine with me
Will Mikheyev be on Hawks or buyout? I assume they want Lafferty back which is why his rights are in there
-- I see it is 2nd year, Ok with him as player so its fine --

Value seems about right I would say. Good move for Chicago especially, Mikheyev is exactly the type of cap dump they should target. He can play, and play well if he's healthy and actually help them start winning games. And could be a valuable asset to flip in a couple years as well.
Have to wait and see what Vancouver has planned with the cap space. There's some decent moves available to be made, there's also just another Mikheyev type move waiting to happen as well. Guentzel for anything over $9M, or Zadorov $6M will be a significant mistake.

Allvin is really just so damn good as a gm man

I'm guessing Jake's camp told Vancouver that they were leaning our way and this is prelude to them upping their offer.
I'd assume it only increased the likelihood we move Nachos Friday and scuttle Van with a counter-offer, weaponizing the 8th year.

Wasn't Allvin literally the GM that gave Mikheyev this deal?
If he approves he’s on the hawks

That's usually what happens when guys explode their knee. Up until then he was actually pretty productive.
He is entirely reliant on speed to play his game though, and it all falls apart when he doesn't have it. I could see him bouncing back elsewhere but Van needs to move forward.
