The Vancouver Canucks are in a bit of a cap crunch this summer as they attempt to re-sign free agents like Nikita Zadorov, leading the team to consider trading Ilya Mikheyev purely to create more cap space.

According to NHL insider and Daily Faceoff host Frank Serravalli, the Canucks are hoping to offload Mikheyev this summer as a way to give the team more cap flexibility. Notably, Mikheyev has two years left on his deal that comes with a 4.75 million dollar cap hit.
Ilya Mikheyev lands on Trade Targets board as Canucks search for more cap flexibility
According to Serravalli, the Canucks were shopping the veteran winger at the trade deadline this year, but clearly, there wasn't much interest. Now the team is facing a similar problem as teams are reportedly asking the Canucks to throw in a sweetener to make the deal work.
New TRADE TARGETS🎯 board from insider @frank_seravalli:

Ilya Mikheyev pops up as the #Canucks try to free up cap space for other moves.
Mikheyev had just 11 goals and 31 points this season in 78 regular-season games. He had zero points in 11 playoff games and last scored a goal all the way back on March 13th. The Canucks are apparently trying to sell teams on the fact that he is still recovering from his torn ACL, but they do not appear to be biting. See more about Mikheyev's status with the Canucks in the post below.
We're talking about #Canucks d-man Nikita Zadorov, and how Elliotte Friedman mentioned it's not looking likely that he re-signs. We'll also talk about the trade rumours surrounding Ilya Mikheyev.
