Report: Canucks’ Mikheyev granted permission to seek trade

Is Ilya Mikheyev on his way out of Vancouver?

According to Rick Dhaliwal of Chek News, the winger’s agent, Dan Milstein, has been granted permission by the Canucks to help facilitate a trade.

Mikheyev, 29, has been with the Canucks since signing a four-year, $19 million contract in July 2022 as a free agent. The undrafted Russian spent his three previous seasons in the NHL with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Mikheyev struggled this past season, recording 11 goals and 20 assists for a total of 31 points over 78 regular-season games. Over 11 playoff games, he failed to record a point.

Per CapFriendly, Mikheyev has a 12-team no-trade list.
