So SKA was the only team that could win, or maybe/possibly CSKA.
Didn't AK Bars just win the Gagarin Cup?
Anyway, who cares. KHL teams kick out players not up to the task at any point during any season, happens all the time, and Koskinen has managed to remain and be the no1 in SKA for years. To me he looks like the best keeper not in the NHL, let's hope that will be worth something.
That wasn't really the point. It was that, whatever happened in the KHL playoffs this year, playing behind a massively stacked team would give any goalie's regular-season numbers a boost.
Anyway, it's just a hypothesis. To me the signing looks like another one of Gambler Pete's riverboat bets, but hey, they usually turn out well.
