Just for interest, and I'm not sure how much stock to put into it, but here is the Scouting Report on Koskinen at the Hockey News:
Quote:
SCOUTING REPORT
Has tremendous size for the National Hockey League and uses it well to cover the lower half of the net. Challenges shooters, and is athletic and mobile. Can make some spectacular reaction saves. Drops down too quickly at times and can get out of position. Relies too much on his length and sometimes he does not get back up on his skates quickly enough. His fundamentals are a little lacking.
LONG RANGE POTENTIAL:
Big, talented but inconsistent goaltender.

Doesn't sound like a $4.5 per kinda guy to me!
