First of all holy shit calm down Skyline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus who says shut up on forums, it seems juvenile.

What i am saying is a guy getting 6-7 mil for a guy who at best is a third liner if he isn't on a team who doesn't suck shit is retarded. I could care less if he has upped his point production over his career a guy who has not cracked the 90 point plateau really should not be making this kind of money.

Mikko is far from a mediocre player. I think they spent too much, but this guy is def worth more than Pominville to me, because I think he holds the potential to dominate a game(and raise the play and confidence of his teammates doing it). Mikko for 6 would be acceptable I guess, imo. His Olympic play is what impressed me most, I think. I think any guy who can appear to be the only guy out there is worth $6 million.


Koivu = Pominville

I didn't see Pominville taking his team to glory at the Olympics, did I? I'm not insinuating Mikko is worlds better, but he holds the potential to capture games by himself. Something Pommers doesn't have.

I have never seen Mikko ever up his game neither have I seen Pominville do so I say they are basically the same kind of player.

I guess to put my thoughts into simplest terms is that there's more Drury in Mikko than there is in Jason.

And where did I say he should be making that kind of money, did you ignore I said he is makin too much and should be making 5 million, and even right now 5 million might be a bit much but the end of this contract it would be justifiable?

Please read everything next time, because this contract IS retarded, and I don't agree with it, but to say he's done nothing so far is stupid to say, to say he's earned that contract would be a lie.

Chuck Fletcher should seriously hit him self in the head with something. Mikko Koivu has done squat since he came into the NHL and he's getting 47.25 mil over 7 years?? Now we will probably see other mediocre players wanting this kind of money.

I'd say 71 points last year is doing something.



71 points is his top production??? WOW it must be nice to be him.



It's like one million for every 10 points you score, doesn't make sense.

Would you pay a guy 3 million if he scored 30 points? No.

4m for a 40 point guy? No.

5m for a 50 point guy? No.

6m for a 60 point guy? No.

And yeah, 7m for a 70 point guy doesn't add up either, and the length of the deal is absurd.

I've seen worse deal, like the Drury one. But this is epicly bad.
