According to CHEK TV's Rick Dhaliwal, Mikheyev has begun skating for the first time since going under the knife earlier this year. His agent Dan Milstein says that he expects his client to be ready to go for the 2023-24 season.
Mikheyev, a native of Omsk, Russia has three years remaining on his contract with the Canucks with an average annual value of $4.75 million. In those 46 games last season, he put up 28 points (13 goals, 15 assists), two penalty minutes and was a plus-three.
