Mikko Rashford needs to go.

That’s the headline, that’s the post, that’s it folks.  Long gone are the 131 point seasons that we thought we could expect from the forward, gone are his dominance on the right side of the ice.  Things have gotten so bad that he’s been found as a left winger as recently as this week, with the coach pissed off that Mikko hasn’t produced an ounce of anything this season.

Don’t believe, just listen to Karl-Erik-Karl2-Wojtek in practice ever since he’s joined the team.  Many of the Aurora players have noted the new seasoned veteran calling out Mikko’s effort in practice.  Calling it “lacking” and “outright amateur”.  Maybe it’s just the point of his career where Mikko needs to realize that his shot just isn’t there, the brief moments of accuracy is gone, and the vision for finding his teammates needs effort to open up the opportunities that used to come so easily.
