Injury Report: Mikheyev out minimum 3 months

[mmalady]

feel bad for the kid

 

[DarkKnight]

Which exact part is hard for you? The fact that there is no K in his last name?

Enjoy, perhaps delete your tweet from the Russian or google your spelling and get no hits.

Hope he’s fine, sorry for obtuseness.

That's a serious injury! He is lucky that he will have a full recovery.
He will be missed.
Who comes up?
Brooks on the wing?
Engvall to the 2nd line?

3 months minimum, so could easily be back for playoffs.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Agostino plesase
But it will be Petan

From a hockey perspective, this is the worst case scenario. Minimum 3 months = season ending. Glad that he's expected to make a full recovery, would hate to see this derail his North American career just as it was getting started.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Essentially, that’s it for Mikheyev this season

No? That’s a late March-early April return

Agostino, Korshkov, Bracco, Aberg, could all be guys that get called up.

Can also depend on how far away Johnsson is, and how bad Moore’s concussion is.

I think Agostino can fill Mikheyev’s spot the best among the Marlies.

Update on Forward Ilya Mikheyev

Another source with the same info

If it's ~90 days, he can come back in the playoffs.

They said a timeline will be known in 3 months, not that he will be back in 3 months.

He’ll miss the rest of the year.

 

[Alerion]

That's a damn shame, what horrible luck on a nothing play. He's going to missed big time, I feel terrible for him.

 

[Cor]

If it's ~90 days, he can come back in the playoffs.

They said a better timeline will be known in 90 days. Not that he will be back in 90 days.

 

[TheScandal89]

Sucks big time, the guy was coming into his own and the lines looked really good with him Tavares and Nylander making the 2nd. You add Johnsson to that line and it makes it a tiny line and imo it'd be less effective.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Everyone thinking it’s a chance for another Marlies prospect, we still have Johnsson and Moore soon to be back. This just basically means Engvall gets to stay up roster wise

Thanks.
I've like Agostino too, but I don't know if they will plug a marlie right into the 2nd line.
I wouldn't mind seeing Engvall there

Moore has a concussion, so there’s no real timeline for a return for him.

Johnsson hasn’t even been skating with the team from what I’ve seen yet, so he’s probably still a couple weeks away.

So someone will be called up in the meantime

 

[KuleminFan41]

Its pretty crazy that this isn't a more common occurrence when you think about it. Tough break for him , hopefully he can return for the playoffs

It’s possible they move Engvall up and then whoever is called up goes on the third line.

Keefe has experience coaching everyone, so he’ll know who can fit in what role.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Greg Millen is still between the benches saying he thinks he is okay.

I think it was Grabovski who wore the ridiculously short gloves, and I was always afraid something like this would happen to him

Oh I read it way too quickly.

Yeah he's gone for the season which sucks BUT it also helps us in re-signing him. If he played with Tavares for the rest of the season, no way he didn't get over 50+ points.

Now we might at least get him cheaply on a bridge.

 

[Randy Randerson]

Glad to see that he'll make a full recovery, with what we've seen from him I think he is going to be in the long term plans. Even if he isn't back for playoffs, this could have been a lot worse

In the meantime, I wonder if Engvall gets a bigger opportunity, they have some similar qualities

 

[Stand Witness]

This sucks a ton, Soup has been one of my favourite players this year.

I thought he made someone expendable in the top 9, guess that won’t be happening anytime soon unless another Marlie hops in.
