Mikheyev, 24, is listed as a 6’2, 200lbs right winger, although looking at the Leafs depth chart, it seems likely he’ll slot in on his correct side — on the left as a left-handed shot.
Mikheyev has NHL-level traits in a few areas and, as always, we’ll see how he can perform on the tighter confines of the NHL-sized rinks with less time to make plays, more contact, and a much higher level of competition. He’s unlikely to get top-six minutes off the hop and will have to come over with the intentions of perfecting his penalty killing abilities, but there is no one in his way on the left wing on any line and if he finds some chemistry in the top six with either the Matthews-Nylander or Tavares-Marner (barring trades and/or not signing), it is his for the taking.
