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.

In his short time statistically he may be worth 4.5, but he had no leverage. Teams need a few bargains. That's why draft and ELCs are so important. 
Can you imagine what the Flames payroll would be if out top line got UFA type money and our 3 young D were on free agent $$$? 
The Flames have a bunch of players that are out playing their contracts. Who on the Oilers is doing that? Chiasson? Any one else?
