To say Mikko Koskinen’s received his fair share of criticism since joining the Edmonton Oilers would be a major understatement.
The now 33-year-old Edmonton Oilers netminder was unknown to most when initially signed to a one-year deal by former general manager Peter Chiarelli, having played in only four NHL games nearly a decade ago with the New York Islanders.
His first season in Edmonton actually started out quite well, and as a result, saw the team ship their former number one in Cam Talbot to the Philadelphia Flyers.
