So Chia is not getting fired anytime soon.

 

[King In The North]

Talbot for...?

 

[StevenF1919]

Someone please make it stop...

 

[DictatorTots427]

for half a season of good play?

 

[ManofSteel55]

That explains the waiver additions and sending down Jones. Chiarelli obviously thought he had to clear space to sign a contract extension.

Seems expensive, doesn't it? Did he have to pay the "you're the goalie of a garbage team now" tax?

 

[Wintersun]

Hope that doesn't backfire on them. They've suffered enough.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Peter, you’ve done it again!

 

[sansabri]

What a deal to get after just 27 NHL games...

 

[Shrimper]

Hahahaha.

Chiarelli....

 

[Tryamkin]

I love Koskinen, but 4.5M until he’s 34? He’s been doing well but I was expecting another short term deal.

 

[matt trick]

That could be risky, but he's been solid behind a horrifyingly bad defense. Goalies are just so inconsistent, and I'm not sure that 30 games should get you a three year contract at 1A prices.

Spending $8-10M on Bob would have been riskier, and beyond him there isn't much out there.

 

[Saekk]

That's a good deal if he keeps playing like this.

 

[2022 Stanley Cup]

4.5 AAV??? Well first off Goodbye Cam Talbot. Second, this is the most Oilers move they've done in a while I was worried they became smarter or something. Hopefully for y'all it pans out.

 

[PensandCaps]

Giving a goalie who has 30 career games and replacement level numbers, 4.5 million seems really really really really really really really really really really really really really stupid

 

[McFlash97]

why the f*** is Koskinen signed to a 4.5 million a year deal. WTF kind of overpriced bullshit is this ..... Lol

 

[Leafidelity]

That seems like a lot

 

[Pia8988]

Chia is the worst negotiator

 

[McThome]

I'm not saying I hate the signing. But it is very concerning that Chia has the authority to make decisions for the club which will impact it as far out as 2022!

 

[bennysflyers16]

I was being made fun of for the Manning trade, how can I get them to forget that ????

Have you met our buddy Special Pete?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

extremely stupid deal. not sure what could make someone think he's actually worth that money, but he isn't

 

[bsu]

hahahahahahahaah

 

[LOFIN]

If Koskinen keeps his current play up that's a good deal. But that's a fairly BIG if...
