Ilya Mikheyev extends with the Leafs | 2 years 1.645AAV

Would have been nice to get a super sweet $1mil arbitration award for 2 years, but odds are the arbitrator would just go with the standard "split the difference" approach and that would have been $1.85mil. I guess going through that process wasn't worth the risk.

I was looking at some comparisons and Oskar Lindblom's name jumped out at me. He played just 30 games this past season because of his cancer diagnosis and he scored 18 points in those games. That's a slightly higher pace than Mikheyev albeit in less games. The Flyers signed him to a 3-year, $3mil AAV extension this summer. Granted he also had a 31 point season the year before so it's not entirely the same as Mikheyev. But I don't think his ask was that crazy, all depends on how much an arbitrator would value a partial season and we really don't know the answer to that.

His individual shooting percentage was like 8%, which is just under league average. On-ice shooting percentage for his linemates was a tick higher at just over 9%, again, pretty average. When he was on the ice, he was north of 50% on chance share, shot share, expected goal share, goal share. Nothing in his numbers suggests he was performing well above norms; of course he could still under perform, but his playstyle is not particularly streaky.

That's the thing. Like his P/60 was insanely high, I don't really think there's a chance he keeps that up over a full season so I don't think we should get too down on him if he doesn't hit 50 points next season. But at the same time there just wasn't an indicator that he was playing way over his head other than just general logic.

That hospital visit paid off.

I think they were saying that most ARB cases get split down the middle so Leafs just saved themselves a couple hundred grand.CarltonTheBear said:
It's a good deal. Dermott and Joey Anderson are next. Dermott will take what the Leafs offer. Hope Dubas signs him to a 2 year deal.

I think it's a fair deal for both sides.Bullfrog said:
Assuming we have a roster that consists of 12F, 7D, and 2G, the Leafs now have about $1.2mil in cap space to re-sign Dermott if Engvall is the teams 12th forward or about $1.4mil if it's someone like Vesey.

Considering his lack of a track record, I?d say this is a fair deal. He?s being paid like a 3rd line winger. I?m quite confident he can meet that bar.

I take it to mean they have a deal in place for Dermott.
Also, I'm guessing the original deal was 1.65M AAV (1.1M + 2.2M, which is the maximum yearly increase, and includes his sweater number). That's a razor thin cut off the cap (15k).
