I'm mostly worried about nicknames... Which one is KK, Kaapo or Kirill? Or are they gonna be KaK and KiK? Kaapzy and Kirilzy? Kähkzy and Kapzy? Kaapzy and Kapzy?

No worries Walz will have it for us: Kirilly Kaprizov and Kaapy Kahkonen. :sarcasm:

I just use KK and goalie KK. :dunno:

I think that’s what he actually wanted to go by.

Really? The only time I ever heard it was when Walz opened his mouth. Hockey players aren't very original with their nicknames; just add an ie, er, s to their name somehow and that's it. Moose is most original nickname (that I can think of) on the team currently, and even that's close to Marcus.

I 100% can't prove it and I 100% couldn't find anything to support it, but something sticks in my mind, either when he was playing for the Gophers or Wild, that somebody said something to that effect.

Yeah, he's always gone with Mikey as far as I can remember.

Kahkonen aiming for the empty net...
Kaprizov negating the icing and passing back to...
Koivu, who scores the ENG.

One of those KKK-goals...:help:

Will Koivu still be playing in 2020?
Easily aka unfortunately because JEE is our only young C.
He‘ll take the face offs, especially in the own end.
Then he asks a young skater to pull him off the ice.

With an empty net he stays on the ice. He‘ll score 12-15 ENG.

Some players still retire while under contract.

2 years is a long time when talking about the end of a player's career. I just wouldn't call it a given. I'd like to still see him going, but you never know.

I haven’t seen anything from him that would make me think that he’d say “no thank you” to $5.5 million.

We never saw any indication Walz Wild say no thank you either, but yet he walked away mid season.

Im not saying Koivu would ever go to that extreme, but I could see him as the type to say enough is enough one day, even though he gives it his all every time he steps ot there.

The Wild would be on the hook for his cap hit still. It would be a great way to end your career by giving the middle finger to the only team you've played for.

Or, like many teams before them, come up with a way for LTIR. Unless you think Hossa's contract is hurting the Hawks.

Then both sides are happy.

Those damn equipment allergies! :laugh:

I’m over the Hawks thing. I don’t think for second that Hossa doesn’t want to be playing right now.

I think Hossa is glad he got gettin while the gettin was good.

Even Zetterberg didn't finish his contract... he also went to ltir instead of playing it out. Funny, that was also a two year extension.
