If you are going to spend 5 million on a goalie just spend an extra million and get markstrom he is better then holtby as well as he is not it the decline like holtby is.

Holtby in the past 3 seasons is at .906

Hutchinson/Brossoit level

Not getting any younger either

nice. you replaced .917 koskinen with a sub .900 goalie

Why is everyone sooo eager to move kosk? He’s a good goalie

Wild aren't taking him with that contract

What??? LoL. He's okay. But he has a real tendancy to let in some soft goals! And at 4.5 million. No he's not. I definitely wouldn't complain if he was 2.5/3. There's a reason why we couldn't really trust him..

He’s been better than holtby and cheaper. On par with markstrom and cheaper than he will be

I'm not on the Holtby train. His glove hand is brutal. He doesn't make the key saves.. or the next save after we score a goal and deflates the team. So no.. I don't think he's better. .. just BC his numbers are on par. If it wasn't for Smith our season would have been a lot different.

Agreed to an extent I just don’t feel replacing kosk is the right move. I’d rather stick with him and explore somebody like smith that can provide 35-40 starts at a reasonable price which I feel there is plenty of options out there. I just don’t see kosk as a problem like most seem to be around here now. Perhaps he didn’t play as well as we needed in the play in round but let’s face it can we name 3 players on the 23 man roster who did so I personally am for the most part throwing that out since don’t think those games are fair evaluation entire team crapped the bed.

I'd like to hold out hope. But finding a younger goalie to grow with the team should be a must. I'm not a Koskinen guy. He did get better throughout the off season! I will give him that. But he's not worth the money! .. stupid chirillie
