Icon59 Oilers have re-signed Koskinen (3 yrs, $4.5 mil AAV, 15 team NTC)

per Friedman on 960. Texts coming in as he is on the air


noticeable difference between Rittich and Koskinen:

Rittich is RFA
Koskinen was UFA

He's still talking about this on air. How did you get it up so quickly?

Wow, he hasn't even shown one solid year yet. Love how Chia keeps sinking that leaky boat up there.

FFS that sets the market for Rittich much higher than I would have liked.

Oilers always have to go and Oiler up the market.

Coming off a 15/18 performance (got tagged with the L), and a previous .853. Nice.

#### - that will be a comparable for Rittich. And of course, it's way over-priced.

Extra $1M for bad town bonus, sets the market at $3.5M for everywhere else.

No it doesn't, other agents and GM's know Chia is a complete idiot. BT will get Rittich in at a decent number.

Even the most optimistic agent knows you can't use a Chia contract as a comparable and still be taken seriously by an NHL GM.

It is obvious at this point that Chia is going for a scorched earth policy before being fired into the sun.

HF Oil is imploding. Sounds like they were hoping to land a big fish in the off season.

Nah, all other GMs know that Edmonton doesn't set a market. How many $8.5 RFA wingers got signed after Draisaitl?

Honestly every single day we get a gift from the Oilers.

They're like a season long advent calendar of no good.
