Mikheyev Has Become A MASSIVE Piece for the Chicago Blackhawks #blackhawks
And it’s funny because like Vancouver has become like this like an AHL team for the Blackhawks. They just take on their cap dumps and turn them into great players. Jason Dickinson was getting selky votes two years ago. He was a captain dump from Vancouver. And now McKay, you’re right, he is a core piece of this team now. Like he is, they’re not going to let this guy go. He’s a great skater. He’s a fabulous defensive player. He’s so good in his own end. And last year the puck started going in for him. He had 20 goals last year. He’s got three goals in the last two games. He plays on the third line. He never complains. He kills penalties. every now and then when they need a bump, they put him on Baddar’s line and they work well together. Doesn’t matter where you slot him in the lineup, he’s been incredibly effective. And it it’s just always amazing to me when guys struggle so much in one place and then just show up somewhere else on a worse team with worse structure and all kinds of, you know, chaos going on and they just thrive.

an under rated piece of the rebuild. I'm a big fan
Best way to describe him is a solid 4th liner on a cup winner
People also forget the massive fact of, his cap hit doesn’t matter when you are competing for last place…
Love that guy. Great pick up.
I want him back in Toronto.
Good for ilya
“Cap dump” my ass
It's our defense and goaltending winning us games. We haven't given up 4 goals yet
It's something KD has managed to do several times. I've even been pretty up about Burakovski's play as well.
He was their best player last year. Great skater. Great motor. Great on the PK, three shorties. What didn’t Vancouver like about him?
