a 2nd might not be enough to get any team to take 2 years of Ilya's contract.

I believe the caps pass for that price

I’d actually probably do this depending on Hronek’s contract.

I can't see the Caps giving up a mid first rounder ++ for a defenseman who would be forced to play second pairing time because Carlson is still around. Even then he would be 30 by the time Carlson retired and he was stepping into the top pairing. We would be better off getting good prospects that can grow while we run with this older roster

At this point, that Mikheyev trade just needs to be posted permanently on all Canucks ACGM's. It's just automatically added when a new post is started. Hawks probably accept.
