Good move by the Canucks! I bet Chicago can get an extra asset eventually from Mikheyev if they retain.
Just needs to prove he’s back physicallyGood move by the Canucks! I bet Chicago can get an extra asset eventually from Mikheyev if they retain.
Wasn't Allvin literally the GM that gave Mikheyev this deal?
Allvin didn't make Mik's ACL explode in his first preseason here.Wasn't Allvin literally the GM that gave Mikheyev this deal?
He’s gotta be crazy to waive to go from a top team to Chicago.
Correct.didn't Ilya have his agent look for a trade so why would he not waive especially to a city like Chicago.
Reported by who?his agent was the one that found the deal. shouldn't be any hick ups.
LFG
2 year deal and probably double what he’d get aav wise on the open marketDoes this mean Chicago wants to offer Lafferty an 8 year deal? (Kidding).
Imo it is. He has a legit chance to win the Stanley cup. I get that this is good for his play time but he can still turn things around in Vancouver and be a key piece for them.is it though?
He gets a fresh start and will probably get a chance to play with Bedard. He'll have every chance to bounce back
Correct.
1. The players will hate his guts if he doesn't waive and shows up as anything less than playing at the absolute top of his game.Imo it is. He has a legit chance to win the Stanley cup.

lol the players will not hate his guts if he doesn't waive. Guy negotiated that clause in good faith and if the team regrets it that is on the team and not the player. I doubt there would be a single player in that room that would fault him for using his negotiated right if he chose too.1.

2. He wants another deal and he's already getting 4th line ice and healthy scratched in van. It'll be far more lucrative for him to play top 6 minutes in Chicago than stay on a team where the players resent him and the coach has already been healthy scratching him and putting him on the 4th line.
