2022 3rd round pick (BOS)
cap dump
OTT
Koskinen, Mikko
Additional Details:
since ottawa has 3 3rds they can get rid of one and they need goaltending desperately not to make the playoffs but just to see how their new core can play in front of competent goaltending rather than what they've got. mikko not worth a 3rd but his record might help him
This is what happens when people don't follow the other teams, and don't bother to look beyond the full season numbers. Ottawa had a rough November, giving up 4.42 goals a game over 12 games, worse in the league. They also had games cancelled due to Covid. Since November, they have given up 3.00 goals a game over 8 games, and that's middle of the pack, tied for 13th in the league. Considering they gave up 6 goals in that first game of the month, they have given up 2.57 goals a game since December 1st, when they made a defensive culture change after that game, shortening the bench and playing the 3rd pair much less.
Ottawa has Forsberg playing well, Gustavsson who is in a funk, and Murray who should return soon enough. With Sogaard and Mandolese, there's no room for Koskinen.
Also, Ottawa isn't, "getting rid of" any pick. Do you have some cash you need to get rid of? I have some property in Florida for ya...
