Mika has very low expectations for everything. As a player who is regressed this far, she can only expect to get worse. She is not a Player who gets better with age. Mix that with Minnesota losing their top Defensive defenseman, she better learn to shoot less and block more. Mika is moving off of the convent center position and has handed it over to Gold. This means she can focus more on her defensive stats and less on face offs. I think overall, Minnesota will be in a similar position than last season. Not first, not last. Hopefully we can come out a bit better and squeeze into playoffs. I am not asking to win the cup, just mearly make the tournament. Your young core needs to see their name in lights. Get excited. So when they rule the world in a couple seasons they know what to expect.
