Mikheyev was originally considered week-to-week after suffering a lower-body injury in the preseason. Despite being moved to IR, Mikheyev travelled with the team to Edmonton and may not be sidelined as long as initially feared.
Dickinson, who had 11 points (5G / 6A) in 62 games with the Canucks last season, was going to be at the bottom of the Canucks lineup heading into 2022-23. With Tyler Myers banged up, the Canucks seemed to think they needed defensive depth more than the bottom-6 forward.
Knight's new contract does not kick in until next season, he'll play 2022-23 in the final year of his ELC. The 21-year-old will open the season as the No.2 behind Sergei Bobrovsky but could fight for near equal usage. Last season he was 19-9-3 with a 2.74 GAA and .908 SV%.
Sanford started 2022 with the Senators before getting traded to the Jets at the Trade deadline. The 27-year-old finished the season with nine goals and 12 assists (21 points) in 80 games. Sanford should fill a bottom-6 role in Nashville in 2022-23, presumably as Nick Cousins replacement.
Anderson leads the Marlies with 26 goals, adding 16 assists (42 points) in 55 games. The 23-year-old has 13 points (8G / 5A) in 57 career NHL games to date.
Sanford missed Sunday's game vs. the Avalanche but is expected to play Wednesday vs. the Flyers. Sanford has picked up just three assists in 15 games since being traded to the Jets.
