The actual problem here is that because it's Chiarelli, everyone just assumes every move he makes is bad, almost as if he's incapable of making a decision that could even remotely be seen as right or even ok.
I also don't have all day here to explain to each and everyone my opinion on the matter. So the last thing I'm going to say is that there's a little bit too much overreaction in this thread in my opinion. This was not some kind of Ilya Bryzgalov albatross or some crazy long term Roberto Luongo type contract. It's a 3 year deal. Easy to stomach, easy to buy out. If he plays 50-60 games next season for them and at his current ability, then the deal will turn out fine. There's certainly a lot more glaring issues on this team than Miiko Koskinen.

His current ability is about .891 save%. Overreaction? Nah, just high amusement.
BTW, the goalie situation is partly caused by their impatience with Brossoit. I wonder if they'd like him back. Who decided not to extend him at the expensive price of $650K?
