The undrafted defenceman was playing in the NCAA for Bowling Green and was in his third year; he will forego his senior and final year to turn pro.
Mikkola seems like worst case scenario. Best case is he becomes decent nhl player. 2nd best case is he doesn’t become nhl player. Becoming crappy nhl player would be worse than that.Best case scenario seems to be a Mikkola replacement.

NYR wanting mikkola to justify trading a 1st speaks far more to their own foolishness than mikkolas worthWhy is not becoming an NHL player better than becoming a flawed NHL player? We got positive assets from adding Mikkola into the Tarasenko trade. NYR insisted he was added for them to give us a first. That seems better than nothing.
People's unreasonable hatred of Mikkola causes some nonsensical opinions apparently.

Because some players get the spots over better players/makes teams complacent and to not look for another option in that position, and it happens quite a bit
