DownUndaCanuck Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Surprised to see Mikheyev fly under the radar this year, he's costing us a 5M cap hit just like Kuzmenko and Garland, skates well and forechecks and hits well, picks up secondary assists every now and then but really doesn't do much else. Very surprised to see Kuzmenko constantly getting benched, a lot of heat for Garland early in the season yet this guy gets a free pass all year long? Might be because he plays the way Tocchet likes - safely, good defensively most of the time and forechecks, but he brings very little offence. I'd like to see Mikheyev held a bit more accountable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik doesn't have the offensive game this season, but he does skate well and is still a solid defensive player. So far, he isn't hurting the team and if he does, they will try someone else. Hopefully Josh will be back soon and all will be well in Canuck land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that Tocc's choice was Mik over Laffy. Maybe why he has asked for Bains to be called up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, felt weird to me. Mikheyev has some skill and speed, but Lafferty's game feels like it has more of the grit that Joshua's does.

Hairy Kneel Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 With 2 more years at 4.75M Mik is a bad investment We need that cap space to resign Dak and our other bottom 6 ufa's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik plays a key role that isn’t so easy to replace as Dak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
