He was coming back from 6 months off with a severely lacerated wrist with tendon damage. I wouldn't put a lot of stock into his playoffs.
Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] Ilya Mikheyev signs extension (2 years, $1.645M AAV)

The 2-year term has absolutely nothing to do with that.
Yes it does? The player elected for arbitration so the team gets to choose between a 1 or 2 year deal in arbitration. Mikheyev basically pigeonholed himself into a 2 year or longer deal by electing for arbitration.
Nope.
It wasn't an arbitration decision.
Could have been a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... -year contract.
The point he’s trying to make is that 1 wasn’t on the table as soon as Mikheyev elected for arb. It was gonna be a minimum 2 year deal based on that fact alone.

Mikheyev is such an energizer player. A real beautiful skater with such an attitude. Other teams would have paid more cause they WANT HIM HARD. Don't be alarmed leafs fans once again, cause others could get jelious of all these. This was so cheap as a deal and mikheyev brings much more to the table. He is fast, hits, pk killa and all. This letter was cheap. 
Thank you so much gm dubas again for this one. You already changed our philosophy, your philosophy and our current roster. We got thugs, hittas, workers, comedians and energizers now. We the best like khaled already knew. Bring the pain.

It wasn't ?
If the player had said "$1M for one year or more for 2+ years", the Leafs would still have insisted on 2+ years ?

Very good contract. Kid has some wheels. Even if he has a sophomore slump he's cheap for the season after to get over it.
He will definitely outplay that AAV, this is a great deal for a team close to the cap.
Just Dermott left to sign now, Leafs have had a good off season so far.

Absolutely crushed this offseason, IMO.
Nice deal. Figured that with the Leafs' cap situation being so tight (and with COVID19 making practically everyone's cap situation so tight) he would sign for a very low AAV, however I would have thought it would just be for 1 year. Excellent move by Toronto to get him for a second year at that low cap hit.

Shoulda got one game in
This is probably a fair deal for him. He showed some skill before his wrist injury. If it works out, the Leafs underpaid and they can attempt to dump him next year. If not, no big loss.

Vesey will go in for one of the bottom 6 LWs or Simmonds
Dermott will go in for Bogo, which might be most of the season. If Lehtonen doesn't work, they could rotate the 3 of them.
Maybe even Rosen
Where is Barabanov?

No one is mentioning the REAL story:
Mikheyev stepped off his original ask, because he wanted to fit in and play for the Cup.
You wanted a player to ask and get less.....you got it!

Whats with Leafs players and soup?
Sundin was just chasing advertising dollars. Mikheyev got sponsored because in his first major interview he said his favourite food was soup. It caught on and became his nickname and he picked up a sponsorship he really wouldn’t have had otherwise.

Well, there you go. Apparently the higher “already agreed AAV” wasn’t actually agreed.

1.6 because thats the Leafs could afford...
Just kidding.
Honestly, really good contract for the Leafs.
Mikheyev is a good player.

I was thinking the same. Hes probably worth around $3 million per, but because of the rules he'll have to settle for about half that. He was honestly excellent last year before that freak injury where he had a skate cut his arm/wrist. I can see him being a 60 point winger, which will likely price him out of Toronto after this contract.

He's my favorite Leaf, ahead of Marner & Taveres. 50-60 peak shouldn't be too difficult in that top6. Red Wings are flush with W's, especially in the bottom 6, even 2 years from now, that is the only deep part of our prospect pool, otherwise I'd love to sign him.
