I have never once said it was a good signing. I have said multiple times its a big gamble that I would not have made because he's an unknown. I was surprised the money was that high. Supposedly other teams were after him so I am guessing that is what it took to get him. Thankfully it's only for 1 season. I believe that one of the biggest downfalls of the Oilers this season was sub par goaltending. When I look at the teams in the playoffs, both who are still in it and who are out, other than the Flyers, they all got really good goaltending. I look at the teams in the Oilers division, Vegas has Fleury, Kings have Quick, Ducks have Gibson, Sharks have Jones. So all of them have really good goalies. If Koskinen comes in, plays well, takes some games away from Talbot which I think is sorely needed, provides some pressure on Talbot so he is better and as a whole, helps make it so the Oilers have a real good 1-2 punch in goal, then I can live with it. Right now I am a little skeptical and I am praying it works out. But I'd like to see the guy play first before I decide it won't.

Ya sorry, I wasn't trying to say that I thought you think this is a good signing.
My point in more just that almost regardless of how this turns out, I think it's a bad bet.
At that money, Koskinen basically has to come in and be a top-3 backup and allow Talbot to play less than 60 games with minimal dropoff in effectiveness. What's the probability that actually happens. I would put it at less than 50%. And whatever his performance level, you still have to ask the question, could the Oilers have gotten that performance at less money?
And it might work out, I agree with you that we won't know until we see what happens in the season. But I think, based on what we know today, it's totally fair to say that this is a bad bet. The most unfortunate part is that this looks to be part of a pattern with this management group.
Oilers Goal Differential
17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
18/19: 232 GF / 274 GA (-42)
19/20 (82 game pace): 257 GF / 254 GA (+3) in 64 games
2021 (82 game pace):269 GF / 235 GA (+34) after 38 games
