Mikko Koskinen Contract Buyout Details - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

2020-21 would be a little rough but it's not terrible.

Not sure if im missing something obvious but would this be the shortest amount of time after signing a contract that a player has been bought out?

Can't imagine there's been shorter.

But if Holland does indeed have some sort of master plan to get them back into the postseason you'd have to think he'll need every inch of cap space available and an extra $3.8 mil would sure as hell help.

$3.8M is misleading though. You need to replace your starting goalie. So say you sign Brian Elliot for $2.25M, you're only really saving $1.5M this year. And less in coming years. And I'm not sure Elliot is any better than Koskinen at this point.

Just don't think there are any shortcuts available for the Oilers. Maybe entice someone to take Lucic with a good asset. It''l hurt to give up the 8th OA pick this year (for example) but it might be necessary.

If they're aiming at Elliot level for a starter than this is all pointless anyway lol

Fair enough. I just don't know who else they can get for cheap. I mean you can overpay for Bob and buy out Koskinen. You'd likely need to move RNH for futures at that point and the forward depth that was paper thin becomes basically invisible.

In short, IMO, they're fucked for a couple years unless coaching/internal development drags them into the playoffs.

Kenny Holland getting bold?!?

I will take either, but only as a backup in case all three of our rookies turn out to be rubbish on North American Ice.

but, but, they already paid their $4.5 mill goalie.....

And I am counting on them to want Korpisalo

Someday, I need to buy Jarmo a beer and find out what he knew before that draft.

Tom Anselmi's career:

-presides over the Leafs being a laughing stock
-presides over the Raptors being a laughing stock
-presides over TFC being a laughing stock
-presides over the Sens being a laughing stock

Good thing Toby didn't score those 12 goals or he might be stuck in Edmonton...

He was a pretty good defenseman for a while, but injuries certainly took a toll.
