<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Why do Oilers fans hate Koskinen so much?

At the beginning of this past season Smith was injured and Holland screwed up the backup situation repeatedly, and it meant the that Koskinen had to play every game of a wicked schedule (12 games in 24 nights traveling thousands of miles through 4 timezones) which isn't something ANY goalie can stand up under. It wasn't fair to Koskinen but Tippett had little choice but to keep throwing him over the boards, so his results were poor over that stretch. I don't fault Koskinen for that, he did his best in an impossible situation.

With that in mind, I took a look at his last 2 seasons combined, but I pulled those 12 games out of the equation to get a look at how he performs under normal circumstances: his save percentage was .916, which is better than Smith's .912 and only a hair below Khudobin's .918 (who was playing behind a much better defense).

Even if you include those January games Koskinen still posted a .910 over the past 2 years. He's not chopped liver.</div></div>

I don't hate Koskinen (even though his 4.5x3 should have been 3.5x3 when signed) but when insiders are saying OIlers are looking to move on it will influence the ACGMs. The 2 game rotation from 19-20 worked pretty well for the Oilers goalies was surprised they went away from it in 20-21.

Thread: What would Zub cost PIT
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>Using the Brenden Dillon and Justin Braun trades as precedent, I think a 2nd and a 3rd would be fair.


However, we value Zub and want him to be an Ottawa Senator.


So, in order to take him from us, it would need to be two seconds at a minimum because other teams would be interested.


Why does he interest you?</div></div>

I think you are lowballing Zub's value. Only 25. One of the few very good RH defensive dmen. Only making 2.5M. Had pretty good defensive stats for having to go against two high powered offensive teams 19 times last year in Oilers and Leafs. I feel like he has more value then Dillion currently. Felt like once Zub got comfortable in the NHL and was getting more minutes the Sens got much better.
