Ilya Mikheyev On Trade Block With Him?
Patrick Johnston of the Province: Again, not much of a surprise but Ilya Mikheyev's agent, Dan Milstein, has been given permission to find a new club for the defender.
Mikheyev saw his speed return but his goal touch disappeared. The question is now can we combine speed and scoring goals? Maybe, but Vancouver seems determined not to wait.
This is not an automatic sign that the forward is being moved. The same thing happened to Conor Garland and Brock Boeser. Both are still happy, productive members of the Vancouver Canucks.
Being given a sheet by Martin Necas?
Pierre LeBrun: Offer sheets don't happen often but some teams are wondering if offering Martin Necas sheets is a reasonable way to go since the asking price from the Carolina Hurricanes in trade talks is so high. Far away but something to remember.
Toronto is looking for Banging defensemen
David Pagnotta of the Fourth Season: Yes, the Toronto Maple Leafs are always looking for defensemen. Besides all those offensive players, Craig Berube and company are looking for defensemen who can hit and play a bit of a two-way game.
NHL rumors: Mitch Marner, and Toronto
Now, Nikita Zadorov immediately comes to mind. Zadorov carries a higher price tag than it has in years. As the salary increases, the defenders will get money. Colton Parayko can be acquired in a trade but how much will it cost?
Outside, it may be more than expected. Parayko has a full phrase of immobility. Also, Joel Edmundson, who is healthy, will test the free agent market first. Understandably, that leaves Toronto in a dilemma.
Toronto has options but limited cap space unless Mitch Marner is traded anytime soon.
