Ricky Koivu had a very impressive rookie season, tallying 55 points in his debut season in the shl. Playing on a line with fellow youngster Red Kirkby, Koivu excelled in his first season, which led to a lot of speculation about what his next contract would be. He took an entry level contract that was well below the value he brings to this Philadelphia team, but Koivu is going to play at the peak of his game and secure a contract that matches his value after his impressive rookie campaign with the forge.

With that bonus money, Ricky would buy himself a penthouse in Costa Rica (very good country btw) to chill out on occasion and relax by the beach with no disruptions to his zen lifestyle. His brothers, Paul, Jolmi, Binko, Tommi and Wide Peepo Happy 3, would join him on this vacation so it makes it a nice family trip ahead of the restart of the season. (159 words)
