Agent Dan Milstein, representing the interests of the Russian striker Ilya Mikheev told “” the details of the player’s contract with “Vancouver “.
Yesterday, we learned that Mikheev will continue his career with the Vancouver Canucks. The parties have agreed to the terms of a four-year contract. The 27-year-old hockey player has been playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs since the 2019/20 season.
Mikheev played in 53 regular season games for the Leafs last season, scoring 32 points (21 goals + 11 assists). In the playoffs, the Russian striker registered two goals and two assists in seven games.
– There were two lists of teams – priority A and B, but Vancouver was not on it. It is curious that Andrei Kuzmenko was looking for a team in the NHL a month ago. He flew to America, we rested on a yacht, and Ilya came to us – he was just in Miami with his wife Christina.
Andrei consulted the club of the finalists he should choose. Mikheev listened carefully to Kuzmenko and said, “If I were you, I would go to Vancouver.
And on Wednesday, these words came back to Ilya. Until the day before yesterday, the Canucks were not involved in negotiations over Mikheev. But it turned out that Vancouver was watching him very closely. And at the decisive moment came out with a great offer. Ilya studied the team roster for a long time, and the Canucks climbed higher and higher on it. But in the end he became the final favorite,” Milshtein told .
