Anders Nilsson was the better prospect for awhile. Mikko was ineffective at a young age after his draft year and was hurt. He's the definition of a late bloomer. Most Islanders fans liked him and the organization did not give up on him easily. Hes 30 years old and has been effective in the KHL for only the last few years.Looking at his career what in the world did the Islanders do with him after they drafted him ? He barely played ( stats aren't that terrible in the minors ) in AHL , ECHL and then they just out exiled him to back to Finland . What the hell ? They used a pretty high draftpick in 2009 with #31 to draft him and then just completely gave up on him within a couple of year because he wasn't an NHL goalie in his early 20 yet.
