Obviously he was just coming back from injury so there may be some lingering affects there, however he is such a great addition to our team from what I can see.  Speed, drive and his obvious defensive ability makes him exactly what the doctor ordered for this team.  He is in the mold of what we need more of on this team.  Because of this, I think we have some options at the forward group to move that don't fit this new mold.

Tough to look at this in retrospect and think of how we could have better spent that $4.75M on a serviceable D man.... 

I actually like the fit of Ilya on the team, but look at it in retrospect??? He should have never been signed..nor should Beoser have been resigned to anything more than a 1 year QO. 

 

PA & JR said rebuilding the defense was the number 1 priority. They then do nothing, outside of some 6-8th Dmen signings/trades. Then, they blow 19.4m on fwds with redundancy (end up having to sit a top 9 guy because you have too many). Maybe they thought they would be cute, and that would free up a fwd for trade in a deal. Well it didnt, and this team is 0-5-2 because of it; incompetency to the max!

 

PA&JR are clowns!

It doesn't matter how fast you are when you come to a team that plays slow. Always the slowest team on the ice, guys that are supposed to be good and fast come here and look like slugs. Mikheyev just the latest in a long list.

 

Bruce had them flying when he came last year, that was the biggest difference he made. The team was aggressive all over the ice and played fast, now they are back to sitting back playing passive like every season under Green. You play like that and you can't win in this league.

So according to Twitter, Mikheyev was thought to have possibly torn his ACL, but supposedly this is not the case. In fact, some are saying he should be back skating with the team in the next few days.

This didn’t age well

Good for a 22G 50P pace, plays with speed, grit and good on the PK (well on other teams anyway). Pretty successful 1st year at 5M.

 

Garland gets the same money and scores less, Boeser gets 1.5M more and scores 10pts more (pace). 

All wasted irresponsible spending though.

From the outset of the season, something seemed off. He rarely if ever showed off his blazing speed. This ACL injury makes sense. Skating looked off. Hoping he makes a full recovery for next year and can bring his best game to the team.
