I'd like to know how much Koskinen was asking for before agreeing to $4.5M/season. Chiarelli and the management group deserve a lot of criticism for the contract, but that wouldn't have been their first offer. Weren't the two sides talking for about a month? Which would put negotiations beginning around Christmas.
