Playing career

Mikheyev started his career in the school of Avangard Omsk. In 2012 he started playing in the youth team Omskie Yastreby in the MHL. In 2013 he won the Kharlamov Cup with his team. In the 2013–14 season he started playing for Yermak Angarsk, the farm team of Avangard in the VHL. in the next seasons he also played for Sokol Krasnoyarsk and Saryarka Karagandy, that time farm teams of Avangard, in the VHL.[1] In the 2015–16 season he started playing for Avangard in the Kontinental Hockey League. He established quickly in the team. The 2017–18 season he finished as the top scorer of Avangard with 38 points.

In 62 games during the 2018–19 season, Mikheyev recorded 23 goals and 22 assists for 45 points to again finish as the club's top point scorer. In the post-season he helped Avangard reach the Gagarin Cup finals recording 11 points in 13 games.

On 6 May 2019, Mikheyev signed a one-year, entry-level contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL).[2] On 2 October 2019, during the Maple Leafs' home opener, Mikheyev scored his first NHL goal and added an assist in a 5–3 victory over the Ottawa Senators.[3] After his debut, he made a passing comment about how he loved soup, which eventually led to a partnership with the Campbell Soup Company.[4] In an away game against the New Jersey Devils on 27 December, Devils forward Jesper Bratt fell, causing his skate blade to cut Mikheyev's wrist.[5] Mikheyev suffered a laceration on his wrist and was removed from the game. He immediately underwent surgery at University Hospital in Newark to repair an artery and tendons in his wrist.[6] Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas and assistant athletic trainer Jon Geller cleared their schedules so Mikheyev would have familiar people around in the three days between his surgery and flying back to Toronto.[7] Mikheyev did not return for the remainder of the regular season, which was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but was able to return for the playoffs. He went pointless in 5 games as the Leafs fell to the Columbus Blue Jackets in the first round. In the following playoffs against the Montreal Canadiens he was again held scoreless, increasing his total to 12 playoff games without a single point.[8]

On 20 October 2020, Mikheyev signed a 2-year, $3.29 million contract with the Maple Leafs, avoiding his salary arbitration hearing which had been set for the following day.[9] It was also reported that Mikheyev willingly reduced his salary after a request from Leafs general manager Dubas, in order to ensure the team would remain under the salary cap.[10]

On 13 July 2022, Mikheyev having left the Maple Leafs as a free agent was signed to a four-year, $19 million contract with the Vancouver Canucks.[11]

International play

In 2017, Mikheyev played for Team Russia at the 2017 Deutschland Cup. He was later added to make his full international debut for Russia at the 2018 World Championships in Denmark.

Scouting report and playing style

Vancouver Canucks

2022: "Ilya will provide a lot of value in our middle six," GM Patrik Allvin said Wednesday of his club's new marquee signing. "His versatility and ability to do so many different things will be a huge boost to our group. Solid at both ends of the ice, Ilya's speed is a real difference maker. Not only does he kill penalties, but he also can create offensively as well."[12]

Toronto Maple Leafs

2019: “Ilya has really developed the last two seasons with an excellent organization in Omsk,” the GM Kyle Dubas said in a quote supplied by the Leafs’ media relations department. “His teammates there, who played in the NHL, speak very highly about his character and work ethic. Ilya is a left-shot right winger who shows the consistent ability to drive play into the offensive zone and create offence for himself and his linemates. He’s a competitive player and we look forward to working with him and helping him reach his potential.” [13]
