I'll be honest, I'm not even postive Mikko is a 100pt guy on another team without Nate and Cale feeding him. And I wonder how much his floating would be tolerated by another coach then.
Rants would be a 90-100 pt player on most contenders and coaches would be just as tolerant. When you have that much talent, you just accept a player's flaw.

But I do think you'd see a different Mikko if he was expected to play 18 minutes a night instead of 23 minutes.

I'd really like to see that Mikko... playing either on our second line or for a team in the east this spring.

Yes, I think he would be. Big, rangy wingers with elite passing and shooting skills don't grow on trees. Put him on a team with a legit #1 center and a legit #1 blueliner and he'd thrive regardless.

I hate that this made me think of Mikko..
But that's not an issue because Mikko's not a center. Probably reason #1 as to why he didn't work out as a center.

I don’t catch any KHL games and am limited to stat watching. It’s likely tied to getting more powerplay time, but his total ice time has gone up almost 4minutes a night from the start of the season with an average of 17:13 over his last 7 games and 18:34 over his last 2. Hopefully this usage continues and allows for him to start putting up a few more points.

Trent Miner held the greatest goal scorer in the history of the world scoreless in his NHL debut. Clearly, he's the second coming of Patrick Roy.
