Mikheyev turns 25 years old in October. He's listed as 6'2", 194 lbs and led his KHL team in scoring this past season. Sounds like a possible Ennis replacement.

Speedy left shot with size, hands, and the wherewithal to use it (for scoring)

Ottawa was probably the team not to show interest as would be Russia a long distance call.

13. Some of my Russian sources aren?t buying that winger Ilya Mikheyev is picking between Toronto and Vegas. They think it is the Maple Leafs, and has been that way for a while.

Good. Hope it works out. You have to keep replenishing.

Previous tweet was deleted* but it said sources point to Mikheyev signing with the Leafs.

As for why it?s taking so long...

So, 7 years at about 4.5 mil per?

Lou Lamoriello doesn't work here any more.

Just sew over the nameplate of your Vladimir Tkachyov jersey.

Not yet.

Thanks for the update

We're waiting for his involvement with the national team in the World Championships to conclude before a decision is announced.

He got cut today, so we might be hearing about his decision soon.
