Mikheyev Hits the Block as Blackhawks Extension Talks Stall
Contract negotiations between the Blackhawks and veteran forward Ilya Mikheyev have broken down, putting the 31-year-old on the trade market ahead of the deadline. The two-way winger has been a reliable contributor since arriving from Vancouver, but Chicago's need to allocate cap space for its young prospects may force the team's hand. With Mikheyev set to test free agency this summer, the Blackhawks face a choice between recouping assets now or risking losing him for nothing.
