Goaltenders are voodoo. There are a lot of swings and a lot of misses. Their performances in the aftermath doesn’t really matter in Koskinen’s case. If these goaltenders have the leverage to get these deals, then they’re all going to take them.
Darling has been really bad. But, Martin Jones has worked out decently for San Jose. Our version of Koskinen in Karri Ramo was pretty serviceable here. Helped the team to the second round of the post season. This is not that bad of a deal like so many are making it out to be.
Koskinen has actually been a bright spot for the Oilers this season. He really just ends up replacing Cam Talbot’s contract who clearly will not be coming back.
