Koskinen's last 10 games hasn't been great. But that team itself has been quite bad in itself, it hasn't been just on the goaltender. Also, his previous games were actually quite good when he was sitting near the top in the league in sv%. Like I said earlier, he's actually been one of the bright spots for this terrible team and without him, they'd be near the league's basement as Cam Talbot has had himself a Mike Smith type year.
As for the goaltending market, I assume it's going to be the same teams that will be looking at a Sergey Bobrovsky or a Semyon Varlamov, but won't want to pay what these guys are looking for since they're both having rough years.

Ummm, it was compared because you brought up that exact signing (and not Jones' present contract). And, of course, the present contract starts this season, and was signed after 3 years of 60+ starts, at save% in each season higher than Koskinen presently sports. Jones is also a year younger.
Yes, Koskinen had a run of good games. In November. In December he was a mediocre .907 and his last 4 games that month were terrible. Really we are talking about a goalie that had a good 10 game run three months ago, and whose numbers have trended down ever since.
