Ilya Mikheyev deserves our respect



He has absolutely fantastic analytics, 19 even strength points, unreal speed, an underrated shot, great defensive metrics, and kills penalties. His only real weakness is on the PP. I’m not sure why I see people in here saying he isn’t a top 6 forward.

    And he’s theoretically still not 100% recovered from his injury (according to his agent) .. imagine him with even one more step!

    I think people say he isn’t a top 6 forward because he’s got bad finishing and doesn’t drive play

    he’s always deserved our respect dude has been great since the moment he got here

    I do think he needs to bring more and bring it more often if he’s playing on the top lines, but I have faith he’ll improve as his injury fades into the past.

    I wouldn’t say his speed is unreal yet. When it returns it’ll knock this city on its ass. We won’t have to fake it. Everyone will just suddenly be talking about it.

  6. Hard for him to have great power play metrics with PP2’s like 20% ice time compared to PP1.

    To be fair, hard to do much when PP2 gets like 20 seconds out of 120 to do something and half of that is zone entry lol
