Do you miss Ilya Mikheyev?

[SeanMoneyHands]

He’s turned into a very solid top sixer in Van city. Better than I thought he would be. Do you miss him? His cap hit sucks though.

Always thought of him as a good secondary player with speed. Alas we wanted tougher guys.

 

[ACC1224]

Forgot he existed until I saw the thread.
Rather him than Bertuzzi

 

[hotpaws]

big
fast
decently skilled
loves soup

what's not to miss ?

 

[Buds17]

A useful player that's had injury troubles at times. Unfortunately, the contract offered by VAN meant that there was going to be no Soup for us...Next!

 

[Doublerum1975]

Nope rather have Dakota joshua i think that’s how you spell it

 

[PromisedLand]

I wouldn't mind if we had him. He had speed, was a big body and was learning NHL.

We could definitely use him and his speed specially on PK; but I don't think I miss him

I will always have the memory of him beating McJesus in a puck race


EDIT: Still need to see how effective he can/may be in playoffs before anyone really misses him though

 

[JEI]

Him and Hyman.

 

[TheScandal89]

He was a decent player with amazing speed and decent skill. He was never a liability out there or anything and fit almost anywhere in the line up but he tended to be invisible most playoff games except for a few in his last year. He got 2 empty net goals and 1 assist in 1 game I believe.

I miss Hyman, he was the guy I didn't want us to lose

 

[LeafalCrusader]

If he were making Jarnkrok money sure I'd take him. He had wheels and worked his butt off out there. Not at his current deal though.

 

[HolyCrap]

I miss him terribly. Not a day goes by without thinking about him.

But honestly for the right price I’d take him over Bertuzzi and a few others.

How dubas let some of these guys go
Hyman marchment
The list goes on
Benoit outperforming gio and brodie it's just a shame

Couldn’t afford to keep them, if the guy wanted more than 2 million we had to replace him with a min wage guy. We had to toughen up for those almighty playoffs. Lol

 

[fahad203]

I miss being a fast team. Ilya was constantly non factors in playoffs.

Great free agent find. Very likeable player.

 

[TakeTheBody]

Hell no, just like I don't miss ads at websites.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Absolutely

Hyman Matthews Nylander
XX XX Marner
Mikheyev Kadri XX
Engvall Kampf XX

 

[Aashir Mallik]

f*** no

I’ll miss kerfoot, Galchenyuk, Spezza, but not this guy. They made differences and were solid sometimes in the playoffs, milheyev was not.

He didn’t play hockey against Columbus or Montreal, he went for leisure skates. Tampa he played like a 4th liner

Him and engvall were guys who you bench once you make the playoffs, they make the team much worse

I’m happy we didn’t pay him at all, and very pleased we didn’t pay him 5ish

 

[the squared circle]

I think he still holds the Leaf record for most breakaways without scoring, at 463.

 

[The Iceman]

If you ever need an empty net goal in the playoffs he is your guy!!!

 

[BTP]

Complete no show in the playoffs. Could never score on his 100 breakaways a game.

He was fast and great on the PK.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Not one bit. A playoff zero.

 

[1specter]

He was a reliable player and money on the PK, so I certainly miss that. That Mikheyev-Kampf-Kase line was a very solid line for us, unfortunately Mikheyev disappeared in the playoffs and Kase continued to get hurt.

 

[Ciao]

Who?

 

[BraveCanadian]

I think he still holds the Leaf record for most breakaways without scoring, at 463.

I think Russ Courtnall still has that one

 

[The Iceman]

I think Russ Courtnall still has that one

I would give Grabner the edge
