Ilya Mikheyev

[Dover]

His contract in the KHL ends this year and he seems interested to come in America for next season... Would you grab him for a deep prospect pick? The guy is on a nice rise. What you guy think or do you know any other infos about him? Thanks

[Dover]

Anyone?

If you are in a really deep keeper pool (you select rookies like Ylonen and Dellandrea for example), that could be a good gamble.
But if Kaprizov is not selected yet (I doubt...), I would try this one before Mikheyez that can be a Jiri Sekac #2

Kaprizov is gone yes. Our prospects bank is pretty deep. I was thinking picking Mikheyev with my last pick. Those KHL players are so hard to predict... it’s a boom or bust!

[ACC90]

He had some great stats in KHL.
The more important is in the international events (good comparable) and he had some good moments (WC)

Yes, it's a boom or a bust. The best example is Panarin vs Shipachyov... I still have some nightmares with my Shypachyov selection last year

[Dover]

Yeah I know! Shipachev was so good in the WC just before he signs with Vegas. I was so mad that my Habs passed on him. We will never have a garanty with these KHL players but we will always be looking for the next Panarin...

Just noticed this thread now. I created Mikheyev's fantasy profile in November >> https://dobberprospects.com/player/ilya-mikheyev/

Thanks Jouko-Pouko!

I've been keeping tabs on this guy more often lately and with 2 goals today (one empty netter) Ilya Mikheyev has moved to second in the KHL scoring race behind Nigel Dawes. Atleast that's what I've come to from this awkward google translation and 'Cars' meme.

HC Avangard @ hcavangardomsk

That's right. 2nd in goals, 14th in points.

Leads his team in points and goals. Omsk is not really a high-scoring team, and there's not a lot of talent for him to play with.

Sounds promising

Всех интересует этот вопрос. "Меня все спрашивают, собираюсь ли я в НХЛ… Там лучшие игроки мира. Кто туда не хочет, если откровенно говорить? Надо просто понять, когда ты будешь готов.|

Translated

Everyone is interested in this question.
"Everyone asks me if I'm going to the NHL ... There are the best players in the world. Who does not want to go there, if you speak frankly? You just have to understand when you're ready."

[Dennis]

Mikheyev returned from an injury that's kept him out of most of the KHL playoffs and didn't miss a beat, scoring twice.

No guarantees he comes to the NHL when his contract expires at the end of the month but someone to keep an eye on if you're preparing for next season. One more win and his team will face Kaprizov's CSKA or Gusev's SKA Saint Petersburg in the Gagarin Cup final.


Also, love his, playoff beard?

Andrew Zadarnowski‏ @AZadarski

24-year old Russian forward Ilya Mikheyev, who played with Avangard Omsk of the KHL for several seasons, will cross over to the NHL and sign with Vegas Golden Knights according to Sport-Express.

Vegas is interested but Ilya Mikheyev has other NHL offers too. Speedy versatile RW with a heavy wrist-shot who loves to dangle and is good on a PK

[Mike's Lemons]

Which line would he possibly slide on to?

[Dennis]

A line on the Chicago Wolves to be honest. I don't see a spot for him on Vegas as things stand and I'm not sure he signs there.

My take on Eronko's tweet was that Andrew Zadarnowski‏ read a bad interpretation of the Sport-Express article (Google translates Russian quite poorly) and that Vegas is merely a team pursuing Mikheyev among others.

Google translate a phrase as "Vegas claims Mikheyev" but Prompt translates the same as "Vegas applies for Mikheyev", with proper context it likely would translate best as "Vegas courts (or persues) Mikheyev"
