Confirmed with Link: Kosko Resigned - 3 years @4.5 with NTC

[Raab]

We haven't even established if he's starter material. This has a great probability of backfiring.

And if you wait until the end of the season and he gets more proven, the cost goes up. Talbot wasn’t proven either when we shelled out 4.25M for him with a smaller cap.

 

[Jet Walters]

Writing is on the wall for Talbot. Trade him quickly before he becomes a distraction. I like Koskinen but this is a gamble.

 

[Oilhawks]

The Talbot contract with “cap inflation”?

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Jesus Christ. What kind of contract is Chiasson going to get now.

 

[XXIV97]

2 years @ 3.75 M would have been much better deal

6 x 6

Chia is trolling us so badly now. Seriously. I like the player but there is no way he has earned a three year commitment at that value. His last 11 appearances have yielded a .879 save percentage.

If this is true, he likely got an NMC as well which would be so hilarious if one of our AHL goalies turned into the real deal over the next two years, but we'd have to let them go to Seattle at expansion because of an NMC on an older goalie who may not even be any good.

Is Chia perennially bent over?

 

[PinSeeker]

This is frankly an unbelievable day, in the worst of ways.

 

[Uindicator]

My oilers are the worst contract writers ever, he has one good month and boom here’s a three year contract, and there goes our chance at getting winger

 

[MikeGrier99]

I don't even entirely hate the signing, but I hate the timing of it. Would rather pay 4.5 if he had proven himself a little further. This is a total gamble by a guy who only cares about holding onto his job.

 

[StevenF1919]

Chiarelli is intentionally sabotaging this team. There is no other explanation.

 

[Uindicator]

wow

 

[Uindicator]

My god oilers are the worst contract writers ever, he has one good month and boom here’s a three year contract, and there goes our chance at getting winger

 

[Aceboogie]

Hahahahaha 4.5 AND 3 years for a pur back up goalie. Its comical at this point.

Look Pete, I know Kosk is UFA, but literally no GM in the league is going to offer him more than 3 mil. Almost every NHL team has just of good as a back up. Hell, you put a better backup on waivers and lost him to the Jets for nothing

The cost isn't going to go up with this group. His numbers have come back to Earth.

And come on, three years? He doesn't even have a full season of NHL hockey under his belt.

This is just stupid.

 

[Canovin]

Talbot+Sekera to Canes for picks I'd imagine

 

[Valhallis]

 

[dem]

JAN SV% of .891

Weird time to be signing him...

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Talbot+Sekera to Canes for picks I'd imagine

The Canes just saw him up close and personal, why would they want him?

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

31 career NHL games so far, for a 30 year old.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Hate Chiarelli but I like Koskinen Rather that contract then Price's

He's our starter

 

[justafan22]

holy f*ck

 

[Ninety7]

Chiarelli actually might be special.
