I personally would do it

I'm interested in Mikheyev

low risk move for sens and they get a 1st out of it

4.75M for a 3rd liner ouch OTT don't have the cap to have him and sign a replacement top 6, OTT would pass on this unless retention

Mikheyev would be a great addition to Ottawa. He plays in all situations and could be used heavily in a PK situation for them. That's an awfully heavy price for the Canucks to pay for VT though.

What kind of sweetener would Ottawa want in a Joseph-Mikheyev swap?

Ah this absolutely not, Joseph is NFT


His salary is what allows them to get a 1st out of this. If he was making a M$ less, the pick would be a 2nd at most.

Isn't the 1st in this case for Tank??

Vancouver can have Tarasenko for the 1st in 2026.

Ottawa is not interested in Mikheyev.

yeah but should Mikheyev be had for free?

He's a very solid 2-way forward who has paced for 46 pts per 82 games the last 3 seasons combined. He's a bit like a more skilled Mathieu Joseph

He only has 2 seasons left at 4.75 AAV so the term isn't too risky

Tkachuk - Norris - Giroux
Mikheyev - Stutzle - Batherson
Greig - Pinto - Joseph
