Description

I dont entirely agree with all the heat Koskinen gets. His 2019-20 season numbers were virtually identical to that offseasons most sought after goaltender Jacob Markstrom who signeda 6x6 deal with Calgary. A .916 save percentage is nothing to snuff at. Sure his glove hand has moments and sometimes he let in the games first shot/goal, but the numbers speak for themselves. This past season if he hadn't played every minute of the teams first 13 games including a couple back to backs in there his numbers would of been better. Not many goalies if any could of carried that workload. Once Smith came back his numbers went back up. Eliminate the season opening stretch and they were almost exactly the same as the year before. Ullmark just signed a 4yr x 5mil contract with lesser numbers and a history of injuries, something that hasn't plagued Mikko. I think Oilers fans just love to hate. The decade plus of darkness soured alot of us. And we often place more focus on the negatives then the positives. Which is a shame. Its chased a fair amount of good players out of town. I think its time to change. I moved him for the haters solely for the cap space.

Trades

EDM

Additional Details:

With a couple of potential GENERATIONAL talents at the top of the 2023 draft acquiring picks for that season is good business for Ottawa. They get Edmontons 2nd best forward prospect in Lavoie who could see NHL time as soon as this season. A right shot defensive prospect in Kemp. And a decent goalie prospect who had a tough 1st pro season in limited action this past season. The sens also get themselves a protector for all their youth in Kassian for the foreseeable future. He may be a bit expensive but the sens have over 20mil in cap space. This deal only adds 3.2 mil to their cap, and Koskinen is only 1 year long.

Additional Details:

Rumored to be the Goalie heading out and every team thats in playoff contention save EDM likely set at that position , the oil swing a deal saving Dallas his entire cap amount with Stalock able to be buried while gaining a decent forward prospect in Tullio whos comparable is a Brendan Gallagher.

Makes sense for a team like Ottawa to weaponize their cap space and I agree an unprotected 2023 1st rounder is worth its weight in gold because an Edmonton collapse is never out of the question. However, Melnyk's pockets are very shallow, he probably doesn't allow the trade because he needs every nickel he can get so he can continue to sue luxury cruises or whatever

I would do this deal but I’m just not a fan of delaying the rebuild. We should stop selling pieces that we can be using to compete with for futures. I would do it but there better be a Hertl extended or Eichel trade in the works with the assets acquired and more futures Ottawa has
