Possible Reunion on the Horizon: Koskinen and the Oilers

Former Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mikko Koskinen, who stood tall at 6 feet 7 inches and 200 pounds, made a surprising exit from the NHL after the 2021-22 season. He chose to return to his hometown and join the Swiss A league with Lugano, a move that was seen as a way to be closer to his roots.

However, recent developments have raised eyebrows in the hockey world. Lugano has officially announced the hiring of Joren van Pottelberghe as their goaltender for the next three seasons. To make matters even more intriguing, the team has informed Mikko Koskinen that his contract will not be extended.

This turn of events has led to speculation that Koskinen might be eyeing a potential reunion with the Edmonton Oilers, especially since Jack Campbell was waived by the organization today.

The Oilers find themselves in a bit of a goaltending predicament, with Jack Campbell and Stuart Skinner struggling to keep the puck out of the net. Koskinen's return to the Oilers could bring a solution to their goalie conundrum, adding an interesting twist to his journey from the NHL to the Swiss A league. Only time will tell if the pieces will fall into place for this possible reunion.
