2022 Fantasy Outlook
On the hunt for a bigger role following three steady seasons in Toronto, Mikheyev joined the Canucks this past July on a four-year, $19 million contract. Mikheyev missed the early portion of the year with a thumb injury before returning in mid-December and playing in all 53 games the rest of the way. He finished with a career-high 21 goals, 32 points, and plus-16 rating. Mikheyev is an excellent penalty killer and good source of secondary scoring at even strength, but he's never offered much production with the man advantage and that seems unlikely to change with his new club. He's only an option in the deepest of fantasy formats. Read Past Outlooks

Mikheyev (knee) was moved from the regular injured reserve to the long-term injured reserve list Saturday, per CapFriendly.
ANALYSIS
Mikheyev isn't expected to play again this season, and this move will provide the Canucks with some additional cap flexibility. He's in the first season of a four-year, $19 million contract. Mikheyev had 13 goals and 28 points in 46 contests in 2022-23 before his campaign ended.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
Mikheyev endured a bit of a sophomore slump in 2020-21, recording just seven goals and 10 assists in 54 contests. The Russian winger was limited to third-line duties for the most part, but he's poised for a bounce-back season in a top-six role now that Zach Hyman is in Edmonton. Mikheyev should play alongside either Auston Matthews (wrist) or John Tavares (concussion), both of whom are expected to be ready to start the year. With a plum assignment in store, Mikheyev should push for 15-20 goals, 45-50 points and at least second-unit power-play duties. The 26-year-old could be a sleeper in fantasy drafts this fall -- don't get caught napping.
Soup's breakout in 2019-20 was cut short by a skate blade right before New Year's. He tallied eight goals and 15 assists in just 39 games and quickly became a fan favorite. And his game was trending up when that gruesome wrist injury happened. Mikheyev inked a two-year deal in October for under market value that will likely see him in the Leafs' top six through 2021-22. He won't get power-play time, but he'll deliver value in large, deep formats.
Mikheyev is a 6-foot-2, 190-pound winger from the KHL who was coveted by many teams this past spring. He chose the Leafs after putting up 23 goals and 22 assists in 62 regular-season games with Avengard Omsk and another 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in the playoffs. Mikheyev knows how to finish and coach Mike Babcock thinks the winger will have a big role with the Leafs. The soon-to-be 25-year-old plays a responsible two-way game, and while he doesn't bang, he protects the puck well with his size. Plus, he can kill penalties. Coming to the NHL will be an adjustment, but Mikheyev should have every opportunity to become a solid, third-line player in 2019-20.
