Mikheyev Could Be Oilers’ Speedy Fix

The Edmonton Oilers are eyeing Ilya Mikheyev as a potential offseason upgrade, a 32-year-old forward who’s primed to be a hot free agent. Known for elite speed and a career-high 36 points with Chicago, Mikheyev also excels defensively and is a top-tier penalty killer — logging the most shorthanded ice time in the league and earning praise as the best PK in the game. His ability to boost Edmonton’s struggling penalty kill and fit into their top nine makes him a compelling target, though his age and likely asking price of around $5M could complicate negotiations.
