Finally. Thought he was sleeping on a couple opportunities like the Walman trade.

 

[ClydeLee]

Why isnt Davidson making these kinds of trades. /s

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Mikheyev is toast but Lafferty is a bottom six guy that can actually play up the lineup.

Really didn’t need a lefty dman or a late second in this years draft considering they moved one to move up

 

[TheDoorDoctor]

Mikheyev, just as I predicted weeks ago honestly he’ll sit as second line forward. If he regains for offensive, we trade him for a third next year!

 

[Mrfenn92]

Mikheyev still has to approve of deal

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

If Hawks give up nothing of value

Sure whatever

We need talent on roster and a pick is nice

I liked Lafferty with Hawks

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Eh, I can dig it. Not as much of a sweetener as I was hoping.

 

[Mrfenn92]

If Ilya approves the deal is

Mikheyev, free agent rights to Lafferty and a second round pick

For

4th round pick

Doesn’t say the years for the picks

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Eh, I can dig it. Not as much of a sweetener as I was hoping.

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 --

 

[Joemoe]

Wouldn't be that upset if he didn't agree to waive but damn I really find the NTC/NMC makes the league pretty damn boring.

 

[Mrfenn92]

2025 second

2027 Fourth

 

[hawksrule]

I’d want a first to take on the contract.

 

[dj Mahoney]

Iiya might be somehow connected to Demidov? Just a guess.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

 

[Wally1112pac]

Mikheyev might be toast offensively but he is still fast.

Lafferty has always been toast offensively and he is fast.

Both are upgrades over the AHL forwards we had last year.

I'll take the 2nd for free.

[Kevin Musto]

Zero downsides to this one.

Lafferty is a trooper. Nice to have him return to the bottom 6.

Mikheyev is overpaid, but not a bad 3rd liner.

Upgrade a 4th to a 2nd.

Good stuff all around.

 

[dj Mahoney]

Mikheyev should still be good for 35 to 40 points . Lafferty 25 points . Up grades over Tyler J , Reece J .

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I cant see this not going thru

Mikheyev agent was given permission to seek trade partner. Both sides wanted to move on

Reese will be riding shotgun with Bedard

Luke loves him

Familiarity to help Demidov transition to life in NA next offseason

Yeah Dickinson was toast too. Turns out when you give a player time to let an injury heal, they play better.

Lafferty will bring the speed dynamic at least to the bottom 6, while our pending RFAs didn’t bring anything really.
