I know that the Habs squandered their 3rd overall pick with KK, but I love the fact that Carolina offer sheeted him and chirped the Habs on Twitter just to have this blow up for them.

Rick Tocchet had the midas touch this year with our lineup. However, his biggest mistake may have been putting Mikheyev on the top line for that Game 7. The dude was a black hole of offense. Not sure why his game regressed so badly, but he made a struggling Elias Pettersson look like prime Connor McDavid. 😂

@sucraf1 24 күн бұрын

Not the whole lineup. lol. Some guys just sucked like Mikheyev, Petey, Kuz and others. Also why keep and keep playing Mikheyev when he was just as bad as Kuz. Maybe better defensively but he was on the 2nd line for offensive.

Need a better wingers for Petterson. Really frustrated to see Mikheyev missed the net in 1st period in Game 7. Otherwise, the entire game dynamic will completely change. This guy just don't know how to put puck into the net. He has the speed but if he doesn't know how know how to score, he is nothing. Drags down the Petterson line. Also, Tocchet is stubborn enough to put him with Petterson for so many games back date to the regular season Anyone knows if Carolina in his no-trade clause?

Don't buy out Mikheyev, try your damnedest to trade him.

@professordogwood8985 23 күн бұрын

Mikheyev has a 12 team no-trade list. This leaves twenty different options for the Canucks to move Mikheyev rather than buying out his contract. Lego, I think what you're hinting at is a trade between the Hurricanes and the Canucks considering their respective contracts are very similar in price. Kotkaniemi doesn't have a no-trade clause until the '26-'27 season when he submits a ten team no-trade list. I'd say make a move for a quick reclamation project and if he doesn't pan out, dump him at the deadline.

22 күн бұрын

I could see Dubas or Lamoriello trading for him, simply to bring at least SOME speed to their aging rosters.

@mylesbent1149 18 күн бұрын

Player swap as part of the Necas-Hronek deal, change of scenery could do both players well... Kotkaneimi could really do well with some RT structure. Buy out the following season if either player fails.

@BaoNguyen-bh2rk 24 күн бұрын

The Canucks were really good this year but there are huge gaps. There are enough expiring contracts Jul 1 that these can be addressed.

@thunderhammerx2966 24 күн бұрын

Kotkaniemi can bounce back; the intangibles are still there, things like passing accuracy (88% success on high danger passes) and faceoffs (55% won in 11 playoff games) zone stats and forechecking. He's just had some hard luck getting the puck in the net; which is all some folks seem to be able to see. He did have a couple of decent shots in the Rangers series, but he got Shesterkined. The advanced stats say there's still hope for him and would like to see him stay another year to try for a rebound.

@BaconNationChannel 24 күн бұрын

Agree, he's still an NHL player in the end. He will need a pay cut on the next contract and will have to understand that he is a bottom 6 guy.

Dude….STOP the throwing of stats without ICE time….. Mikheyev played 2:40 per game less than any other year. What do you expect? Production of points as a metric for defining decline is useless unless you include ice time and zone usage….

@nobuddy2012 24 күн бұрын

Great. The Canucks will soon be spending more on buyouts than on active players. Especially if Pettersson continues to decline and they have to buy him out with 6 or 7 years remaining on his contract.

Doesn't surprise me much about either player, KK was a bad draft pick by Marc Bergevin I didn't think it was a good pick at the time either. That draft year was a steal for Vancouver and a few other teams.

No chance Mikhey gets bought out. He will be fine next year once he has recovered from his surgery. Not having certainty on Boeser is going to a much bigger deal than any other thing the Canucks will have to deal with.
