A Goalie makes it good

Tbh I think this team could be worse. On a shortened schedule, where Koskinen can start 70% of the games and still likely only play about 40, I think his stats will be better than Fleury's. Listen, we can only go with last season's performances for good immediate reference. Fleury had a .905 sv% behind a better defense. Koskinen posted a .917. His contract is worse than Koskinen's. If we're getting virtually nothing back for Koskinen as you suggest, it is essentially Koskinen, Lagesson and a 4th for Fleury? Please no.

Larsson to Niki is also obviously a downgrade. I get that there is a 3rd in there, but what are we trying to do this season? We have to be trying to win some playoff games. That trade does nothing to help that.

Fleury isn’t that much of an upgrade, and his contract is atrocious. You’re better off trading for someone like Raanta this year, and either re-signing him or another UFA goalie for next year.

Only problem is Klefbom will be out all season. Broberg will probably stay in Sweden. Bouchard won't be ready for top 4 minutes.

VGK already said Fluery isn't getting traded

With age decline a huge possibility and Mike Smith being Mike Smith that duo could easily provide sub .900 goaltending for over 8M$ combined which would absolutely push Edmonton not only out of the playoff bubble but into the bottom strata of the league

While McDraisaitl are in prime no less like

At very best they're .910
