Wednesday “Vancouver” exchanged in “Chicago” two of their forwards were traded to the Blackhawks Ilya Mikheev and Sam Lafferty, and the Canucks received a 2027 draft pick.
– A month ago, Vancouver gave Mikheev the right to communicate with other teams. Ilya had time to choose; he had several options. There was a clause in his contract that he couldn’t be traded without his consent. Ilya weighed the pros and cons, talked with other guys, including his teammate Nikita Zadorov, who played for Chicago in the 2020-21 season, and decided to continue his career with the Blackhawks. So this exchange is not a surprise,” the player’s agent Dan Milstein told .
Last season, Mikheev, 29, scored 31 points (11 goals, 20 assists) in 78 regular season games for Vancouver, but had no points in 11 playoff games. The forward has two years remaining on a four-year contract that pays him $4.038 million per season.
