Confirmed with Link: Ilya Mikheyev (15% retained by VAN), '27 2nd rounder, & rights to Sam Lafferty for '27 4th rounder

[Wally1112pac]

Mikheyev is now our highest paid forward at 4.75 mil.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

 

[Idionym]

I don’t get this? What’s he talking about.

Ya I really don't get it lol

Not until stamkos signs for 2 years and $11.5 million aav

isn't Milstein Demidov's agent?

EDIT: he is the agent of both Demi and Lev

Gonna guess is a warm weather team was the mystery third team trying to sell him on a tan

forget about Taylor Hall's $6M?

 

[Wally1112pac]

Ya.

Out of sight, out of mind I guess.

 

[Taze em]

Maybe Milstein is bread crumbing about Chernyshov who missed the combine because he got sunburned? Chernyshov at 18 confirmed.

So what kind of deal is Laff getting? 1 year? 3 year?

 

[giza]

Davidson with his extreme focus on skating and speed strikes again. Would love to bring Lafferty back too.....I have no problem with this as long as we add a little scoring and some tough D. Assuming Hall and AA come back fine, the Hawks will be one of the quicker teams in the league......scoring...well, that will have to wait till next year when Demidov joins.

 

[Wally1112pac]

So what kind of deal is Laff getting? 1 year? 3 year?

The trend for us has been 2 years.

I would say 2 years at 3.5 to 4.

You're going to have to overpay him a little in order to get him to sign. That is also a trend for us.

 

[Illinihockey]

Tired of the hawks taking cap dumps and not really making it hurt for the other team

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Nucks retaining 15% on Mikheyev.

Oh, and the 2nd is a ‘27, too?

 

[Mrfenn92]

So what kind of deal is Laff getting? 1 year? 3 year?

2 years $2.5 million aav

2nd in 2027 is about as valuable as a 2024 late 3rd rounder. Whoever gets drafted there wont be in the NHL until 2030 and thats if they turn out

 

[Kevin Musto]

Kyle wanted Vancouver to retain?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Love it loading up on 2027 picks

 

[Tifosi]

Don’t like that it’s a 27 2nd

 

[Kevin Musto]

2027 pick is kind of funny. Probably won't be a relevant asset for a while.

We got two free roster players that play fast. Two less signings for us to worry about during free agency.

Team just wants to stagger the draft picks.

They already have 2 2nds this year, 2 in '25 and 3 in '26. Now add on top of that 3 more trade deadlines to acquire more picks before the '27 draft and this team is overloaded with draft picks.

I'm sure by the time the '27 draft comes around a lot of the picks will have been traded for immediate help because the Window will be opening around that time.

It’s a smart play by Kyle in my opinion

[clydesdale line]

Both Lafferty and Mikheyev rank in the top half of the league for fastest skaters.

Kyle keeps sticking to his word when it comes to building a fast team.

Yup he has a type. That is why I highly doubt he trades for McGroarty. He is just not a good skater.

Your probably right but Rutgers size would be nice

Not a great skater, but he does hustle. Good motor on McGroarty.

my thoughts when i first heard the trade and that the canucks were giving you guys next year's second. Thought it'd actually be better for you guys to acquire a pick a few years out. looks like Davidson was all over that.

I like what he is doing. No bad money past 2026 is what i heard from one of your insiders?
