The Toronto Maple Leafs appear to be moving on from Ilya Mikheyev.
News came today, via Elliotte Friedman, that the Toronto Maple Leafs have informed other teams that they are open to trading Ilya Mikheyev’s rights before free-agency.
The Leafs wouldn’t get much in this situation, but it might be worth it for another team to get a solo negotiating period with the 27 year old now likely former-Leaf.
At best I feel like this move might get them a sixth round pick, but that’s not really the news. The main news here is that Mikheyev is done in Toronto.
