The thing about Koskinen, is that you'll have to pay a team to take him lol

Flyers rumored to be interested in a backup that will challenge Hart for a job and Koskinen is that. He’s solid enough to not require a sweeter imo.

makes sense

Could you imagine how good we'd be down the middle Turris as our 3C.... Err... Wait

I'm not sure he's solid enough to not require some sort of mild sweetener. 4.5M is alot for someone with a sv% of .907%. It's only 1 year so i wouldn't expect much like Koskinen + 6th for a 7th type of deal.



That would be awesome. Wonder why we haven't tried it.... lol. In all seriousness, I don't know what happened here with Turris and now Duchene. We go out and get these offensive minded centers with suspect defense and seemed shocked when they don't perform defensively.

Yamamoto is so overpaid that my head nearly exploded...…I'm not even kidding! Yamamoto is an RFA without arbitration rights so his qualifying offer is all you need, somewhere near or around 1 million dollars for 3 years. You went 5 and only picked up 2 years of UFA years.

Adam Larsson is grossly over paid as is RNH, that contract would hang on the Oilers until he's 36 plus years old, that's not good.

Both Larsson and RNH have been reports for RNH anywhere from 5.5 to 6 for 4 to 5 years
Larsson has been reported to be anywhere from 3.5 to 4 and 3 to 5 years.

FYI - draft picks from 5-7 have a hit probability of about 6% meaning only around 6% of players taken in rounds 5 through 7 will ever play 200 games in the NHL. Those picks are literally worthless and teams know this.
You probably wont even get a 7th for Koskinen, it would have to be a trade where you add a prospect with koskinen. 4.5 million is a lot of cap for a back up.
