Sabres are a clown show

Buffalo had priority right? Any reason the Sabres didn't take him?

The team is run by meddling owners who lack a basic understanding of how to build a team, and positional importance

 

[CraigsList]

Lol Buffalo

 

[Lapa]

Had no room for him anymore on the Wild due to Kähkönen & Talbot. Hope he does well in Edmonton.

SMH at Buffalo. If the gm/owners aren't trying are we really surprised when the players put out dud efforts?

 

[Broberg Speed]

Not bad for Edmonton... that is until they waive him and he gets claimed in the next 48 hours !

Funny, sad and true all at once.

Koskinen to Buffalo?

Actually with all the injuries on d they can keep him on the active roster.

Koskinen to Buffalo?

Koskinen for skinner 80% retained

Koskinen to Buffalo?

Doubt it. This is just solving the issue of not having a 3rd string goalie thanks to that ***hole Waddell claiming our goalie for literally no reason

 

[SomeDude]

The carousel of mediocre goalies continues.

Possible Buffalo is making a deal for someone else?

Yeah, but you can't make Stalock your 3rd goalie unless you waive him, Koskinen or Smith.

There’s no rule saying we can’t have 3 goalies on our roster. The only reason we had to waive Forsberg was we had 9 dmen and we didn’t want to lose any on waivers. But now with injuries, that’s not the case anymore

 

[Canovin]

Koskinen for Hall 50%

Not the end of the world for MN, but I'm sure that Guerin would prefer that they have him around as a #3 goalie option. He was supposed to be the backup this year, but injury and Kahkonen's play made him superfluous. If Talbot gets picked at the ED, then MN will be scrambling for a good backup.

Smaller goalie. Great puckhandling skills. Had a good year last year, for him. He won't be the reason a team wins games, but you hope that he isn't the reason you lose games. He really liked being home in MN... I wonder how he will take to being moved . Obviously a very low cost option, so an easy add.

Ratt reference! I never thought it would be possible here.

Faith restored in humanity.

Well, according to Capfriendly, Koskinen has a save percentage of 0.009 this season, so there is that. Go look yourself.. But hurry.
