[Signing] Oilers re-sign Mikko Koskinen


Recommended Posts

what could possibly go wrong when you give term and dollars to a 30+ year old goalie with no history of success as a starter in the nhl?

 

cam talbot has worked out swimmingly, after all. 

 

hopefully chiarelli really scorches the earth on his way out of town.

First off, I really like Koskinen. Goalie guy, so I like his size and his style. Although, not technically great. And $4.5M isn’t a lot, nor is the term.

 

But, this is Edmonton. A team that should be competing, and they’re hanging their goaltending hats on a guy who’s played 31 NHL games. 

 

Oh yeah, and he has a p*ss poor defense in front of him. His name’s not Hasek, so there’s only so much he can do.

Remember Jim Carey? Vezina in '96 and out of the league by '99

Yeah goalies are like RB's in the NFL, their shelf life can be quite short.
