I haven't watched them play, but the number don't look great:
Skinner:
ECHL, 30 games, .906 save percentage, 3.20 GAA
AHL, 4 games, .879 save percentage, 3.25 GAA
Starett:
ECHL, 1 game, .963 save percentage, 1.99 GAA
AHL, 19 games, .907 save percentage, 2.59 GAA
Wells:
ECHL, 13 games, .913 save percentage, 2.84 GAA
AHL, 9 games, .902 save percentage, 3.01 GAA
Hawkey:
NCAA, 23 games, .905 save percentage, 2.09 GAA
To be honest, Rodrigue might be the only one trending up.
The guy I'd like to see them take a run at as a free agent is Cale Morris in Notre Dame (19 games, .924, 2.37). It would likely mean not signing Starett and/or Hawkey though to open a position.

The numbers on all these guys is fine. The ECHL guys struggle a little to adjust to the AHL but they'll be fine. I'm assuming the goalie plan in Edmonton is to run with Starett as the backup to Koskinen next year with maybe a 'C' level veteran playing backup in AHL.

I would bet money that the Oilers sign a back-up rather than gamble with Starrett on the NHL team. Only one season in the AHL, and his numbers far from stellar. There will be better options available this summer.
