Sign Bobrovsky or Varlamov to potential albatross contracts? Or sign Koskinen to a deal now. Who knows what those other 2 I just mentioned are going to get, so Koskinen's deal might actually end up looking great in comparison. IMO, contracts are all about supply and demand and leverage and unless we're actually in the business itself, we're just left to guess what we think is right.

So he got bent over...we all agree.
and how has he proven to be a starter? 8 great games as a backup?
Let's see how he plays when Talbot is gone and the pressure of $$$ rises. That Edmonton crowd will chew him up pretty quick.
