Hockey player Mikheev believes he can reach a new level of play in Vancouver

russian striker Ilya Mikheev talked about moving to “Vancouver” stating that he will be able to prove himself better in the new team.

Mikheyev is gone “Toronto” and signed a four-year, $19 million contract with the Canucks.

We spoke with the general manager. For me, these are other opportunities than they were in Toronto, you know what lineup, I was happy to play there. In Vancouver, I will have more opportunities to develop my potential in terms of attack. In Toronto you can get into the top 6, but it’s hard.

They want to see that I can play defense and attack equally. In Toronto, I was used more in defensive actions, we went out, we tried to give the first two links a rest, in Vancouver, I hope, we will try both in attack and in defense.

We weighed the pros and cons, watched the queues. (There were options) not only “Washington”, other clubs. We decided to bet on Vancouver. In composition, but not only in composition, Vancouver fell in love. We haven’t talked to this club anymore. He was not in the favourites. Then over time it all started. For me, this is an opportunity to reach a new level of the game. There will be a few more opportunities in Vancouver,” Mikheev, 27, said in a Zoom press conference.
