Gurn Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I'm going to suggest all this Garland versus Mikheyev stuff will be mostly settled after the all star break. 9 days off are going to do wonders for Mik, probably the best help for any player on the team. I think he should have actually been given 5 games off since his return, from knee surgery. A large part of his game is speed and agility, both of which take a hit, and take time to totally recover We are likely to see two or three weeks of prime Mik, then he will begin to slow down again. Next year he will be ready to go the whole season at 1005, not the 90% he has played at, except for his first couple of weeks, which were good. 5 games off, timed to max his days off without a game, would have, imo been awesome for him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgarM Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 14 minutes ago, CanucksJay said: How about this? Writing a fairy tale here but say we're up by 1 in the final 48 seconds of a Stanley cup deciding game. Our team is shorthanded and we are on a defensive zone draw. Other team has the goalie pulled to make it a 6 on 4. Faceoff is on the right dot. Every other centre on this team is left handed. Who do we send out there? I would think in this situation, it would be Lindholm taking the draw. Dependable 2 way centre and selke runner up with a 55 percent draw rate on his strong side for the draw and pk Not disagreeing with you I already said he was a great fit for us.

EdgarM Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 18 minutes ago, CanucksFan26 said: I don’t think we can even consider re-signing everyone if we don’t move one. Garland has been amazing. I’d move Mikheyev unless he really steps back up. The good thing is, that we will have a post season under our belt to see who we need to keep and who is expendable. I am open to anyone who helps us in the playoffs, have priority when it comes time to resigning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 2 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: Yup. 100%. I'm pretty sure the ones that don't like this trade have never watched Lindholm play. He is an elite defensive player, even better than Petey, and can score 40 goals when playing when elite linemates. He is also one of the best faceoff guys in the entire NHL. JR said they will be playing Petey and Lindholm together to form a formidable second line, which will probably be our top line IMO. Lindholm is literally jizzing in his pants right now with the thought of playing with Petey. We are easily the cup favourites with Lindholm in the lineup. McDavid probably cried all night when he heard about the trade... A line combination of Mikheyev, Pettersson, and Lindholm would be the best shutdown line we've had in years As a line that could be the first line, and that very likely would be going forward, at least the combo of Pettersson and Lindholm One of them could win a Selke playing together 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 19 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: If Mikheyev gets traded before Garland I will change my avatar to a Garland pic for 3 months. If Garland gets traded before Mikheyev then you need to put a Mikheyev avatar on your profile for 3 months. If neither get traded we don’t need to do anything. Sounds good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikheyev should have had surgery at the beginning of last year right after the injury instead of trying to play through it. He would have been 100% healthy for training camp this year if he’d had done that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergiomomesso Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 11 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: Garland doesn’t play on the first unit PP. Garland and Mikheyev both play on the second unit. Garland only has one power play point this year, an assist. His shooting percentage is terrible at just over 7%. He takes a lot of shots and they almost never go in. Mikheyev isn’t any better on the PP but his shooting percentage is almost 11% and at least he kills penalties. I think the poster was saying Garland draws penalties to give PP1 more opportunities to score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And flys through all four rounds of the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will start racking up the points again with Petey and Lindholm. Unfortunately Kuzy was holding him back as he had to play a more defensive role on that line. With Lindholm playing down low that will free up Mikheyev to play a more offensive role. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
