I haven't read or watched the whole story yet on Mika being upset about reduced ice time, but I'd love to know how he doesn't get that consistently playing to about 47% of your potential might have consequences.
It's crazy to think that he and Miller are now the roster spots that are most worrisome.

My wife had our first son on Sunday so playing a bit of catch up. I know Mika bashing is in these days and he’s certainly not without some blame with his play to date but that Brooks headline was classic clickbait. If you read the article he is being asked how he feels about getting less ice time and he essentially says “nobody is happy with playing less.”
Then Brooks makes it seem like he’s seeking out reporters to tell them he should be playing more. He was answering a question he was asked with IMO a response 99% of the league would give.
Some people just want him to sit there and say “I suck and should be playing less, they should take me off PP1 and try to trade me.” It’s fine to sit on a forum and say those things but what pro athlete says that to the media?
