Mikko Koivu to ‘be around’ Wild training camp

He’s coming home.

Minnesota Wild legend and longtime captain Mikko Koivu is reportedly going to be attending the team’s training camp and prospect showcase later this month in some sort of role.

It is completely unclear what he is going to do, but no doubt his 1028 games wearing the Wild sweater is going to be useful for the young phenoms that will be partaking in their first NHL training camp.
