fixing the goalie issue = having the same 3 goaltenders next year

All that money gave kosk should go towards jp he’s going to cost about that much more. Then need to come up with a back up plan for when smith misses the first month or two of next year just like the past two years.

Where can I get my 30 secs back for opening this thread?

It totally depends on how much time Smith misses this season and how well Skinner does in his absence. If Smith is healthy and playing well, AND Skinner continues to tear the cover off the ball, I don't think they'll do anything with their starters. In this situation it's critical to have someone in Bakersfield who can jump up when injury strikes, at this point it's not possible to pencil Konovalov into that job but we'll know more by seasons end. Koskinen might well be superfluous to this roster.

Too soon to call.
