I wonder who potential trade partners would be? He is solid as a bottom 6 player and PKer. But that cap hit is tough even for floor teams.

Like I said, if Allvin could trade Pearson for DeSmith, then we should be able to trade Mikheyev for something

Yesssss

Retain a million annually n make it happen with a bottom feeder?

If the Rangers could offload Goodrow for literally free and the Kings somehow got rid of PLD’s contract, I’m confident we can flip Mikheyev for not much cost. The rising cap appears to have lessened the cost of cap dumps, and Mikheyev’s game is at least solid outside of his finishing ability

I guess I should just trust management given that they’ve done a good job so far but… it just seems like exactly the right time to wait for a guy who’s now going to have a full offseason to work out without the lingering effects of a major surgery who could totally rehabilitate himself as a player and fetch far more once he has, or at least not require us to pay to get rid of him.

Wonder if Pittsburgh would do a straight swap for Reilly Smith.
Smith is much older, but has just 1 year left vs 2. His upside is that he had a slightly more productive season and has historically been a huge playoff performer.
From Pittsburgh’s side, Mikheyev’s a younger player, adds much needed speed to their team, and Dubas is obviously very familiar with him, and honestly could be a good fit with Malkin.

Good luck to him

Why do we constantly have players who have little-to-no-value, acting like they are hugely-valuable commodities?…

If Los Angeles can trade PL Dubois, they should be able to trade Mikheyev without giving up too much in sweeteners.

Trading Mikheyevs insane 4.75m AAV is the difference between getting just Guentzel, versus Guentzel, Joshua and Zadorov.
He was so replaceable last year, we get any league min pk specialist on the roster and this team actually improves over the offseason.

Get ready to speak San Jose-ish, bud.

If they are able to move Mikheyev, it likely comes after the Draft/UFA when teams have struck out. Gotta imagine it would be similar to the Pearson/Beauvillier trade.

Have they tried calling Mike Grier?

Broke: Allvin wants the extra 4.75m in salary for a more impactful player
Woke: Allvin’s trying to manifest a Mikheyev breakout season just like Garland and Boeser did after getting trade permission.

Mikheyev for Marner with Toronto retaining 75% of the salary /s

Someone offer millstein mik, Raymond, and a 2nd to get this done please

Still think a straight up swap for Kotkaniemi would be interesting for both sides. Fills a positional need for us who has good defensive metriks (and is young), and for Carolina it gets them out of KK’s 6 year contract and only has to deal with Mikheyev for 2 years before that cash comes off the books so they can re-up their RFA’s. Only a 70k difference in cap hit

While I’m pretty firmly in the anti-Mikheyev club, and have been since we signed him, Drance pointed out on the radio this morning that past players to get permission to facilitate a trade include – Garland, Boeser, Eriksson. 2 of those guys we’re lucky didn’t find a partner and the other never had a prayer.
He also unfortunately pointedo ut that Goodrow being claimed has more to do with the market for centres – even depth ones – than it is promising Mik has value.

Isn’t this a tactic that doesn’t work unless, you are trying to get the guy to open the discussion for more teams.

I look at Washington and wonder if there’s something there. They have a logjam at RD with Carlson, Jensen, TVR, and Bear. I wonder if trading for any of them not named Carlson would soften the blow for them or if that just jacks up the price even more
JauntyGiraffe
Bro you have had permission for the last year already
softheadedone
This “permission for agent to facilitate a trade” thing seems relatively new. Are there any know instances of an agent successfully doing so?
Griswaldthebeaver
Doesn’t mean much, last year the Canucks / agents received similar permissions and got no where.

If we use the PLD move as a benchmark than we should expect to get a 1st and a prospect for Mikheyev.

2 years go Boeser’s agent had permission to help facilitate a trade and then at the start of last season Garland had permission to help facilitate a trade so I logically the only thing we can conclude is that Mik is going to stay and have a monster year.

One of the few misses by management. I was not a fan of giving a bottom 6 forward such a big contract. I hope they don’t attach any assets to get rid of him and hope he can somehow bounce back with a full offseason of training.
