If you turn over nearly half your roster – as the Toronto Maple Leafs have done this summer – then it’s understandable that one or two things might get lost in the shuffle.
In light of the extreme hype generated by Nikita Gusev, I think it’s time to revisit the Leafs signing of Ilya Mikheyev.
Mikheyev probably isn’t as good, but he is definitely worth being excited about.

Mikheyev’s signing didn’t generate a lot of hype this summer, but maybe it should have.
