Re: [Re-signed] Mikko Koivu
Koivu at 5.5 million over two years is reasonable, respectable of what he has brought to the organization and will allow the young guys to mature at a decent pace before having to fill his shoes.

Re: [Re-signed] Mikko Koivu
Ya, took a pay cut to stay with the team. I like it for both sides. Mikko gets to finish his career in Minny and Minny keeps its captain around to lead the youth for a couple more seasons.

There was a split second where I thought that it was 11M per season. 11M over 2 seasons isn't bad.

Re: [Re-signed] Mikko Koivu
Very good contract for Minny. Too bad they are stuck with Parise for the next 8 years lol
Re: [Re-signed] Mikko Koivu
This contract caught me off guard. I can get behind this for the Wild. Yup. I like it.Originally Posted by als_revenge
*Parise is not that far from a trip to Robidas Island. That back is not going to hold out for 8 years. Not even close.

Re: [Re-signed] Mikko Koivu
You'd take it from both sides...

Re: [Re-signed] Mikko Koivu
Do not like it for fantasy - he's never going to sniff 50 points again. Mark it down. Those who bought the guide saw what I wrote about him in my piece.
In real life, not terrible, especially the term.

Re: [Re-signed] Mikko Koivu
I said in the Foigno thread that I don't see them letting Koivu walk, so this is not a surprise.
If they can re-sign Zucker and Dumba for about $4M each, that leaves them with about $3.6M to fill 4 spots, so they should be fine next season as well. The Vanek buyout coming off the books really helps them next summer. And the cap might even go up a bit, so that will give them some breathing room.
And the following summer, Ennis and Staal are UFA, so they won't be hurt by the final season of Koivu's contract either even if he's only their #3C by that time.
