Very impressive so far. The part about these things that makes me sad is knowing the better a year he has, the more likely he is to be out the door. Damn salary cap
Mikheyev wouldn’t have signed here if not for Babacock from what I’ve read and heard.It looks like Babcock knows a thing or two about hockey...

Well yeah, but I mean, you can't have it all with a salary cap. There's always going to "the other guy" on our top 2/3 lines. It's kinda always been that way anyway.
Ilya Mikheyev seems to have more talent and poise than we were initially led to believe. I think we are sleeping on this guy. Excellent wheels and has that IT factor to him.
After watching some older footage in the KHL, it's pretty clear this guy has another level he can go to.
I think his ceiling is higher than a 40-50 pt scorer. Dare I say PPG player if given time with top 6 forwards?
I think hes gonna be very important this year, x-factor type.
I anticipate that he will get a nice contract by the Leafs at years end. Reminds me of the sort of domineering scorer type, stylistically somewhat similar to 34
They will be careful in how they utilize players that aren't signed past this season.Should absolutely be in the top six forwards. If they put him with Matthews and Nylander that line dominates. However it’s Tavares and Marner who are struggling the most with Kapanen killing so many opportunities. Swap him with Kappy and that line gets going again.
no more than thatIt looks like Babcock knows a thing or two about hockey...
