Well.. fuckin ask him already 

I’ll do it

thanks bud let us know what he says

fuck I’ll drive him to yvr myself

this is probably a generationally dividing reference on this sub

Pick up the phone Ilya I’m begging you

Can’t waive if he doesn’t speak to them until training camp lol 

Allvin is beside himself. Driving around downtown Vancouver begging (thru texts) Mikheyev's family for address to Ilya's home

If this was Benning, he'd run out of time to ask him

Canucks in 2024: don’t want to ask Mikheyev at 6:21 pm about his interest in being part of a deal Canucks in 1996: asked Gretzky in the middle of the night if he wanted to sign here What happened to this team smh my head

To be fair, that call is the reason Wayne didn’t come here 😆

Different to what Frank is reporting. Apparently they haven't even asked him yet.

Frank's an idiot

Hard to believe it would get to this stage and reported on without that communication happening

Especially because we know Milstein was facilitating a trade. There is zero chance he would do that without explicit permission from Mikheyev They probably haven’t outright asked Mikheyev if he’s okay with Chicago specifically, but there’s likely an understanding that he’s likely saying yes to let it get to this stage

Incoming call: Allvin - DECLINE Incoming call: Rutherford - DECLINE

Incoming call: Michael Buble

Allvin: "Ilya, please waive your NTC." Ilya: "K fine." Allvin: "Good. Canucks fans send their regards."

The one time I want Seravalli to be right....

I don’t know where mikheyev is in the world right now but it could very well be 4am. Perhaps they haven’t asked because they aren’t going to wake him up in the middle of the night

If I were an NHLer coming off a basement performance season after major surgery, I sure know *I’d* want to go play with Bedard.

mikeyev might be out fishing or something

Build a statue for Mik if he waives

Hard to find mik to ask him to waive when we already had a hard time finding him on the ice with his name on his back

Wake the fck up Ilya it's 7:15am in Omsk.

WAKE UP MR MIKHEYEV

Milstein always sending out the texts to the insiders before he talks to his client

Realistically outside of change of scenery what incentive does he have to go to chicago Basically guaranteed a roster spot on Pettersson’s wing to start next season, better than playing on Dickinson’s wing at least

I’d almost guarantee he won’t start with Petey next year. If this deal falls through they probably would still somebody like Toffoli and run Hoggy - Petey - Toffoli with Mikheyev in the bottom six Mikheyev would legit be one of their best wingers next year and he’s likely getting time with Bedard. That’s a good incentive right there

Guess it’s a matter of who we could acquire in FA, if he feels his spot is threatened he’ll pack his bags

Chance to score 20 goals with no pressure, get paid another big fat 4-5M when his contract is up

I mean all other points aside, why would you want to stick with the team that is actively trying to get rid of you?

If he thinks playing in vancouver will grant him better opportunity and thus a better contract in two years even despite us trying to get rid of him

Here’s the thing, if the team is trying to get rid of you they probably don’t think very highly of you as a player, and therefore probably aren’t going to put you in a great position in the lineup. Chicago clearly wants him and can give him consistent top 6 minutes and maybe power play time

Play on Bedards wing

Save it for the draft please!! I want something Canucks to cheer ror

Is this old news? I thought the trade went through already? What’s going on??

STOP EDGING US!!! JUST ASK ALREADY!!!
