Can't really comment on Nygard... unfamiliar
Sturm's probably your best bet to stay a NHL regular. 3rd liner meat potatoes kind of guy.
Mikheyev is going to be given an opportunity in camp to fight A. Johnsson for a wing spot next to Matthews & Nylander.
Marner affects him not. Babs has said he expects Kapanen to play with JT until Marner is signed.
If he can play both wings... perhaps that opens the possibility of filling in for Hyman until he returns from injury in Nov/Dec.
My expectation... Johnsson wins the battle for Matthews wing.
Mikheyev ends up mostly on 3rd line with Kerfoot & Kapanen (once full line up is in place) and gets PP2 time.
He has 50pt potential. Yet, I think 40ish is more reasonable to expect from that 3rd line.
That said, Tor will score a lot this year. a 3rd line of 50pt players isn't impossible to imagine
