Minnesota Wild Sign Mikko Koivu To Two-Year Extension

September 18, 2017 at 7:08 pm CDT | by Mike Furlano 1 Comment

The Minnesota Wild have signed captain Mikko Koivu to a two-year extension worth $11MM in total, reports the Athletic’s Michael Russo. The deal breaks down to $6MM in 2018-19 and $5MM in 2019-20. Koivu was sent to become an unrestricted free agent at this season’s end.

Last season Koivu put up 18G and 40A in 80 games, good for third overall in team scoring. He has been the model of consistency for the team over his career. Koivu is not a flashy player, but he gets the job done game after game.

It is not that far off to say that Koivu is the face of the franchise. The Finnish forward—Wild captain since 2009—leads the Wild in all-time games played, assists, points, shots on goal, power-play points, and short-handed goals. He is also second in goals scored and third in penalty minutes earned.

    This is eerily similar to when the Habs extended Plekanec for 2 years. I’m a big fan of Mikko so hopefully it works out better for Minny than Plekanec’s extension did with Montreal.
