I like the cap space this creates for Vancouver and the Hawks get another relatively high draft pick in the deal.

Hopefully they dont do some long overpriced free agency signing in the form of Lindholm trade. Better be careful with the next move
you know how many break aways Mikheyev had with the Leafs where he always comes up empty, guy has speed to burn but no finish, if he had finish he would be a 30 goal guy.
L’affrétât is good
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.
This means Hawks getting Demidov
From the Hawk;s perspective, I think this was a move specifically to have a fellow Russian speaking guy on the Blackhawks for when they draft Demidov. This puts zero doubt in my mind that that is who they will draft at 2nd overall.
I remember trading 2027 nhl draft picks in like nhl 14, seeing them actually getting traded now is wild
RIP SERGEI BEREZIN
I don't want Guentzel, but I'm no hockey team, so it might be different.
What a trade. I love this group
Davidson does it again thanks to his ample cap space. Nice trade. Blackhawks to another second round pick "Don't mind if we do."
Chicago won again
As a Canucks fan, WE HAVE BEEN SAVED
I thought by selling a high draft pick as compensation, Chicago would take on the whole contract… it doesn’t make sense that we’re retaining 15%…
Thank god
lafferty had his best year in chicago, last trade we had with canucks got us dickinson who has been amazing. im pretty happy
It's all about cheering for the uniforms. Players are just jersey number possessors.
The Canucks dont have anyone in Abby. Bains and Karlsson didnt seize an opportunity and they are the top options they have there.
Let's go Canucks!
Mik’s got McDavid speed but hands of stone. No team out there is gonna eat $4-5mil of cap space on a below average player with two years left on a contract for free. Canucks need the cap space to buy a top 6 winger(Toffoli/Guentzel) and a top 4 dman(Big Z?).
