Koivu, Koivu is a toss up at the moment. He's kind of turning out to be like his brother in that he kept getting injured but he has shown flashes of his brilliance. Size wise and ability wise Koivu is great but skating wise and already had a couple injuries, well it's split.
I like Koivu but I think he'll be in between what everyone wants him to be. He'll be solid but for the moment, he needs a lot of work and some guys already have more than he has in camp.
Also, unlike Ruutu and other Finnish players, he hasn't dominated the league yet (could he? Probably not should we judge him on that? No) but the thing is that is what everyone looks at and that's numbers. Number wise the kid isn't that hot. Playing wise, he's pretty good.
