Did a quick analysis on all the goalies who have played more than 30 games this season (implying most are #1 goalies so far this year). The average cap hit of these goalies is $5.3 million, and the average salary is $5.6 million. Also, Koskinen's save % is better than half of the top-ten highest paid goalies in the league this year.
It's really not that bad of a deal performance wise and in relation to other goalies. What is confounding is how quickly they jumped to this conclusion without seeing the consistency first.
