I might get flamed for this buuut...
I feel bad for Kosko!
Not for how much he makes but, I mean to get paid like a starter and get trotted out as a starter and get hung out to dry by a peewee level defense while competent teams exploit his weaknesses over and over is painful to watch.
He's buy-out fodder and will limp back to Finland but at least he'll be rich.
Agents just love dealing with the Oilers. Good on Kosko and Milan's agents though.
How does Katz stand for this?

No flaming here. Koskinen is still pretty much a rookie (<60 games), I think he's even waiver exempt. Dubnyk was weak shoulder high and that was the shooter's book on him. The Oilers' goalie coach was unable to work with Dubnyk to make it better, so a career was sidetracked- luckily he turned it around by getting away from here. Koskinen is in the same boat. He needs coaching to adjust to the NHL game, rink, angles and shooters. I believe at this point he would be a good part of a tandem duo playing 50/30 or 45/35. Unfortunately, he's being treated like an experienced #1 starter and the powers-that-be think he can play like Talbot did. Didn't work with Talbot, didn't work with Dubnyk, doing the same thing won't work again.
In conclusion, our current goalie has potential if he's worked with to improve his weaknesses and given a defensive corps in front of him that knows positioning, play-making, clearing the zone and situational awareness.
...as i have said every year since 2000...still waiting...don't hold your breath...culture...red wine...scapegoats...the truth is out there...cancers in the dressing room...a thing or two about winning.
