In a surprising turn of events, Finnish prosecutors are seeking to impose a hefty fine on Mikko Rantanen, the former forward for the Colorado Avalanche. The report, originating from Helsingin Sanomat, a renowned news outlet based in Finland, suggests that the fine could amount to approximately $100,000.

The fine is being sought due to Rantanen's failure to report on time for mandatory military service, a common requirement for Finnish citizens. The penalties for late military service in Finland are calculated under a "day-fine" system tied to income. Rantanen's NHL income is believed to be a factor in the calculation of the fine.

It's important to note that there is no public information indicating that Rantanen failed to report on time during his mandatory military service.
