Haha, no, just hearing about Mikko from Wild fans.
Mikko is not the same defensively as he used to be, he'll still be good at it but he's so damn slow. He has two advantages on Wennberg - leadership and he's cheap. For that caphit I don't mind it because he'll probably be a good voice and maybe be able to play a bigger veteran role in the playoffs. I would not assume he'll be in our top 9 forwards.
He was literally a Selke finalist 2-3 years ago. Defensive ability just doesn't fall off a cliff. He's still elite defensively but he's slow as balls. So yeah, a completely sheltered defensive role.
