Confirmed with Link: [VAN/CHI] Ilya Mikheyev(15% Retained), Sam Lafferty(Rights), 2027 2nd round pick for 2027 4th round pick

[StreetHawk]

Sounds like we dangled the 2nd and there were a couple takers at that price. Will be interesting to see if the 4th is still coming back on the second deal.

2020’s have not been good for draft capital for the Canucks. You really can’t afford to both trade to talent while also giving up assets to get rid of players too.

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

Face palm to the idiots on social media awarding Allvin GM of the year for dumping Mikheyev when this management is the one who signed him in the first place to that bloated contract.

Yes, if only Allvin had a crystal ball and could foresee Mikheyev exploding his knee seconds into his tenure as a Canuck.

Better to have just stuck with the contract until there was one year remaining, then package him with a 1st for Darnell Nurse.

The ability to move on from a signing that didn't work rather than going sunk cost fallacy is something that should be lauded.

Idiotic trade. Mik is going to put up 30 goals next year...

If he doesn't then I will get a Chicago Blackhawks logo tattooed on my ass.

@Baby Pettersson you want in on this wager?

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

He got injured and we can't afford to be patient enough to wait for a recovery. Injury-free Mik may have been worth the money, the guy could beat McDavid in a foot race.

Mikheyev never had his proper wheels here and he didn't start looking like ass until December last year.

Lets trade the rights to Lindholm for the rights to Guentzel.

f***ing ante up Elliotte. You’re going to let the Johnstons punk you like this? Tell us the other team.

 

[Hit the post]

I miss the days of Jim Benning handling the negotiations:

 

[bbud]

I don't want to see them both go, but those deals from what we've heard sound way too high to the point of risk outweighing reward for me.

Big z they can add term at enough I wouldn't break the bank but he fit in really well here .
Joshua I think will be harder to keep big banging forwards that contibute offense get more attention.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

He doesn't have an NMC, if the Canucks waive him, Chicago can claim him and then make the pick swap.

He can still tell em to shove it.

 

[Peen]

Flip the 4th for Guentzel’s rights

It could maybe, possibly, definitely but not definitely be another team that plays hockey.

Of the two, Z is who I want because I think we can extend term on him to fit the AAV. And I just like him better.

Except it was more like Cliff Claven's interactions with Harry Anderson on Cheers.

If you get the reference.
