i haven't found one media source outside of Edmonton that actually said this is a great signing... most have expressed surprise from what i could find.
mainly because Koskinen is such an unproven quantity at this point in time... arguably, he's been playing worse of late because NHL shooters are 'figuring him out'; don't know if that's true, but its surprising that they simply didn't wait until the end of the year.
Is there a bargain contract on that oilers roster? Chiasson maybe? everyone else is overpaid and over term...
i'd bet Koskinen becomes another bad contract sooner rather than later
