When news broke that Mikko Koivu signed a 2 year. $11 million extension with the Minnesota Wild Monday night, I looked on it very favorably. I liked the deal, and I figured it would be well-received, so I didn’t spend much time defending it.
It appears that I made a huge mistake. While there were many positive reactions to the news, there were also forceful criticisms concerning the deal.
If you are one of those out there, shocked, dismayed, and angry that this extension had it, this is for you.
