It's more of the all-in bet on Campbell that I still think is a big risk. As inexperienced as Skinner is, Campbell only has one season with more than half the games played. That earned him a 5x5 deal in the offseason goalie market + the Ken Holland effect. I still worry about that deal turning into more expensive longer Mikko Koskinen deal
If we knew Skinner would be a viable 1A/B by the end of last year, perhaps we wouldn't have to go as all in on the second goalie.
|
I wanted to see more of Skinner last year, but I'm fine with the tandem we have now. IMO, Campbell's contract >>>> Koskinen. I don't think Campbell will ever be a Vezina finalist, but I think (hope) he will be solid for the length of his deal. And if all goes well, Skinner should be getting a raise and short bridge deal at the end of this year, and then start challenging for the starter's job in a couple of years.
This to me is the best tandem we've had in forever, and at only $5.75M, I think it's pretty good value.

Campbell playing some of the worst hockey of his career so far for us. He hasn't even touched a point where the load of being #1 would be a factor. He will bounce back I bet and it's looking like we could have a very solid pair of goalies.
Wanted to see Skinner more last year too, but I don't think there was any situation where we could have comfortably come into this year thinking Skinner is a 50-60+ game guy for us. That would have been a disaster.

If you take out the short start for Calgary where the whole team was brutal, he was:
.917 - Van
.900 - Car
.952 - STL
.914 - Pitt
The Calgary game was .636.
That would be a .920 if you take the average of all 4 of those games. That's pretty good isn't it?
|
Probably true, he's already come back quite a bit. Those first few games he had rough starts and needed a period or so to get it together, along with the team. One of those games he didn't get the chance to.
Think lots of ppl are still framing him by those first games where the entire team was trash. And now Skinner having good games carries on a narrative that we shouldn't have paid him. It probably works out pretty well in the end. Oilers having 2 goalies able to play well if called on...crazy rare event. Hopefully about to happen.
