      The Hawks will continue to do these types of trades to fill out their roster with veterans, pick up draft picks from teams with cap issues, and meet the cap floor which they are way below at present.

    Sit back and watch Canucks fans, this is what competent management looks like and it's been a long time since this franchise has had it.

      @@mannyoliveira776 Compared to what teams are adding as sweeteners this off season to get rid of players or contracts, this was a good deal. Freeing up that money for a second rounder years down the road is a win. Not many people will argue this. How many 2nd rounders make the NHL? People need to stop treating 2nd/3rd rounders as sure fire contributors. 35% of second round picks make an NHL club. Those odds aren't great.

    Now this is what a trade is supposed to be like. Canucks get the space they need, and the Hawks get handed a second round pick and a guy who's already an upgrade even with his recent woes.

    not sure why the Canucks signed Mikheyev in the 1st place? he had stone hands in Toronto

  • @peterjeffery8495
    @peterjeffery8495 3 місяці тому

    Excellent move for all concerned. Mikheyev when healthy can be a top 6 winger. Lafferty is a great 3rd line guy. The Blackhawks get experience and depth, the Canucks get some breathing room, all good all round!

    Canucks free up 4m from a pylon for a pick swap 3 drafts from now.. And the rights to a guy who would be a 4th liner for us.
    Wings free up 3.5m on a good useful dman for a 2nd this season
    Someone check on Stevey...

    We should still be good in 2027, so hopefully that 2nd doesn't become much. I was a proponent of them giving Mikheyev a chance like they did Garland, but I trust this management - if they think dumping him is for the best then so be it. PDG and Podkolzin can probably slot in as the 4th line wings

    I think Chicago won, because Mikheyev wasn't bad with the Canucks. Sure, he underperformed, but he wasn't terrible. If he gets PP1 time with the Hawks, then he should score enough to be worth the reduced cost. So Chicago got a player who will likely play well enough to earn his paycheck and moved up in the draft in 2027. That's a win.
    However, if the Canucks use this $4 million in cap space wisely, then they will also win. Here's hoping for the best.

      Nah he’s going on pp2 most likely. Not a lot of people realized how hot the hawks pp was towards the end of the year and they won’t want to touch that.

    so basically Mikheyev was that good old rocking chair that you have in the house but simply cannot find a good space for and have to give it away since its not worth much and you need the space...in other terms he got put byy the side of the road

    Good admin move by the Canucks so they can resign a UFA or someone else's and they didn't have to use a 1st round draft pick, which is common in these kinds of deals. I'll miss Lafferty, but I'm confident Alvin and company can find a replacement. Mikheyev will probably be better this season, after being wrecked by injuries, but the Canucks desperately need cap space and there are no guarantees. I don't see anyone on the farm coming up into the roster this season, aside from maybe Silovs (but they might want him getting more games in Abbotsford), due to the lack of depth and the Canucks being in win now mode.

    I still find it weird how hockey trades like this work, like when the leafs gave up a first rounder to get rid of Marleau's money, I get it is for cap space but it's just still odd seeing a team give up two players and a draft pick to get a lesser draft pick, it's something that just doesn't happen in other sports.

    • @samslone9457
      @samslone9457 3 місяці тому

      Lafferty wasn't ours, its just rights to sign him and mikheyev wasn't going anywhere. Hopefully they don't screw it up with some overpriced free agent
