There's also the Kerfoot option on the left while Hyman's out.

Kerfoot is probably our 3rd line centre.

A couple of seasons ago, I wondered, what would it look like if we merged Zach Hyman with James van Riemsdyk. It's not fully there yet, but Ilya Mikheyev looks like he might be that elusive blend of gumption, size, and skill.

His post-game interview from last night. They for some reason cut out the soup part, but he still really comes off as a pretty nice guy.

I know it's Simmons but sometimes the investigative articles are good. This is one.

Here he is getting 11.75 million a year, surpassing Marner's obscene salary.

Hopefully this type of thing will encourage him to want to stay next season and at a reasonable rate. City embraces new star and such and such.
