Hockey agent Dan Milstein recounted how Ilya Mikheev decided to join the club NHL “Toronto Maple Leafs” .
Mikheev played for Toronto from 2019 to 2022. Before that, the hockey player played for Omsk Avangard. During the offseason, the 27-year-old striker signed a contract with Vancouver Canucks .
– Mike Babcock was at the 2019 World Championships, as well as at the Puchkov tournament. I put two GMs from different teams ahead of Ilya, the third was one of the Toronto scouts. In a meeting with him at 6:30 a.m., we made contact with Babcock, who was cutting the grass. He told Ilya how he would be used in the team. At a meeting with recruiters, Ilya heard Babcock’s words and immediately said that he was going to Toronto.
Many people go to Toronto not because it’s their dream city, but because Babcock is there. They know what their first NHL season is going to be like,” Milstein said during a Zoom press conference.
