Proposal: VAN-SJ

[Hodge]

To SJ:
Ilya Mikheyev
2025 2nd round pick

To VAN:
Nikolai Knyzhov

Cap dump to help the Canucks keep some of their pending free agents. Knyzhov's contract can be buried in the minors. Both Milstein clients FWIW.

[Killer Orcas]

Canucks say sure.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Dumping Mikheyev’s $4.5M is crucial for being able to improve or even maintain the roster over the next two seasons and a 2nd seems reasonable to me. Done.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I would do this but wouldn't be surprised if San Jose was one of Mikheyev's 12 team no-trade list.

 

[Diamonddog01]

Works for me.

 

[ThorNton Apologist]

Seems like SJ could get more. Even maybe send someone like Sturm instead and upgrade the 2nd to a 1st.

 

[JiriBubla1972]

I would prefer to trade Michayev and a 2nd for Kostin if possible. Be a great 3rd line winger. Big, Hits everything that moves, and has some scoring touch.

I think it's possible to have Kostin involved but the trade value of Knyzhov and Kostin are not the same. Knyzhov is a minor leaguer due to his injury history. Kostin showed a flash of being a regular NHL'er with how he finished the season as a Shark. While he's not some untouchable, he's not going to be treated as a throw-in right now. He provides value to a team about to get a huge influx of young talent.

Then you have to upgrade the pick. We’d like to keep Kostin for the same reason you want him.

Wouldn't be surprised if something like this trade proposals happens.

Canucks aren’t getting rid of that contract for a late 2nd round pick. Not a chance.

… and this guy is asking for an asset.

 

[PettersonHughes]

Do you guys value Rutta highly? Would love to add him instead.

Look up picks acquired to take on bad contracts during the flat cap, a 2nd is pretty fair with the cap going up.

I think most Sharks fans have Rutta's value at around a 3rd rounder and if it's preferred to have him in there, I think they'd need to add that pick on top of the 2nd.

Ohhh so now Kostin is an asset.......when every NHL team passed on him when he was on waivers? He is a reclamation project. I love how Michayev is seen as negative value because of his contract, he would help the Sharks and has more value than Kostin. His contract is not great, but not terrible and is only for 2 seasons. SJ would be getting the better player and a 2nd round pick, and can easily fit him with their cap situation.

It’s fine if you don’t want to give up value for Kostin, but he played well with the Sharks and has size and some offensive pop. He has some value to us and we don’t want to give him up for nothing.

2nd + Mikheyev + for Rutta????? For a rebuilding team you sure value your assets highly.

Just one poster. I personally would give up Rutta for free if Benning is healthy. I think Rutta is a basically neutral asset in that he’s a little overpaid but he’s a steady third pairing RHD with good size and Stanley Cup experience that most teams would have time for.

The 2nd is for taking Mikheyev off of Vancouver's hands. The 3rd is for Rutta.

 

[Hodge]

How about something like SJ's 2024 2nd round pick (33rd overall), Kostin and Rutta for Hronek and Mikheyev?

Our D is in such disarray and they can either play random vets or actually see what Thompson and Shakir can do. I think having someone like Ruuta, who still seems interested in playing well be a mentor is better than having Vlasic.

If he's that great of value just keep your 4.75mil per year 30 pt player. Sharks might have the cap space but have no reason outside of the sweetener offered to add that 4.75 mil bottom 6 forward. Also I doubt the sharks waive Kostin after his 10 pt in 19 game stretch while showing the grit that GMMG has been looking for. Personally id much rather have Kostin over Ilya after seeing the sample size showing we seen at the end of the year. Being on waivers from prior teams doesn't matter as it's all about the WIIFMN and it looked good to end the year.

I think Hronek is set to get overpaid for what he brings to the table. I'd like to avoid that. I'd rather keep the pick.

Enjoy your wasteland of a blueline.

Enjoy your wasteland of a blueline.

You really think Hronek is going to do anything with what our blue line is likely to be? I don't. And a wasteland of a blue line that gets us a top five pick next draft is still preferable to giving Hronek 8x7 or 8x7.5.
