In his shoes maybe? Does he have a nice pair of Jordan's or something?
Surely it's not the player.

Rumor: Teams interested in Koskinen?
- Thread starter Brown Cat
- Start date
The Oilers would hold out for less and risk going into the ED as is with Koskinen. Can you guys do the same? Every sample Expansion I have seen has you losing one of those 2 goalies.
My counter last minute would be:
Koskinen(1 million retain)
Cooper Marody
the 2022-2nd if we don't give it up for Keith or 2023-2nd.
This is a 2nd a b-prospect similar to the graves deal with a backup goalie that Seattle won't likely pick.

same rumour as on holtby.
these are likely just teams checking the market and making contingency plans in case they lose a goalie to expansion.

I’m not a Koskinen fan, I really hated his play last year, but I do think he is finished as an Oiler and I also feel he will a goalie that when he goes to a new team that will have the most potential to make Oiler fans mad. In that he will probably play well and do well elsewhere.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he rebounds with another team next year. Goalies continue to get worse on the Oilers and they still keep Schwartz around.

Because he will turn into a serviceable 1 b when edmonyon retains 50 percent and he gets away from Dustin Schwartz just watch

Buy him out and the Oilers have a $1.5M cap hit for the next two years.... or talk someone into taking him off your hands with the promise that you will retain a portion of his $4.5M salary for the next year. A buyout gives Holland a savings of $3m of cap space this year along with a $1.5M cap hit and just a $1.5M cap hit next year (no cap savings).
Do you think Holland will be able to talk someone into taking Koskinen with the Oilers retaining $1.5M thus giving Holland the same $3M savings this year that a buyout gives him? I don't.

I guess?
I mean he has better stats than Freddy Andersen this past season (who played under a top-7 D according to Leaf fans) and Korpisalo, Murray, Holtby, Hutton.
At least it's one year remaining so it's not Earth-shattering bad... like Holtby (who had a worse year and has same-ish cap)

He's also the guy who believed a troll tweet that the Oilers signed Hoffman and tweeted about it as if he had a source.
...so the Oil's version of Dreger...gotcha...

Koskinen is only 1 year so the Oilers are not going to bend over backwards to move him. They'd likely retain and get minimal return.
The rumor sounds like teams have genuine interest and would like to give him a shot. He had good stats at one time. A similar position to what Talbot was here.

...serious question; you'd take Koskinen over Holtby??...
Holtby's been bad for 2 seasons now. Yes.
Kosko had a decent 19-20 season (previous season) where the Oilers were second in their division and average in terms of goals against. Holtby has been a turd for a while.
I think Kosko is overpaid by $2.5M/yr. Buying him out and signing a backup... pretty much doesn't save that much cap.

Heatley 2009, Neal/Lucic 2019, Hoffman last year, Keith this year
Best part is he always doubles down right before he's proven wrong.
...I've never liked Holtby, even when he was supposedly good, but he's still a level above Mikko Damn-It's-In...he was another level of bad last year and he turns 33 in two days, so he's not gonna get any better, only worse...

This will be Koskinen & a 2021 6th for a 2021 5th kind of deal with Edmonton retention.
I wouldn't expect much.

Edmonton would take that and run. The Oilers play like the 1977 Canadiens when Koskinen is on the bench.
Since January 1, 2020...
Mike Smith: 33-9-6
Mikko Koskinen: 17-18-1
He's unplayable.

No way in hell are we trading our 2nd best player for a below average goalie
