With the way the NHL is now especially with the West and all the travel, I think a team needs a second goalie that can give you at least 30+ starts. The Oilers next season will be paying 7.6 mill for their goalie tandem for 3 years. Together, they should be able to give the Oilers good goaltending. If a person wants to say Campbell is overpaid a little that's fine but it could very well happen that Skinner will be a bargain so it evens out.

I don't think the contract would have got cheaper if they had of waited until the end of this season. Not unless Skinners games totally falls off.

Next year would have been cheaper for sure.

Do you feel confident goaltending is solved for the next three years? Two years? Next week? I don't. There was no reason to re-sign him right now.

If I told you a year ago that our goalie tandem was going to be Jack Campbell and Stuart Skinner for the next 4 years and that we'd be paying them an aggregate $7.6MM for most of that time, would you have thought that was a good move?

I understand the desire to want the Oilers to have made a good move, so you gloss over and say it isn't THAT bad...but does anyone think that's a top-half of the league goalie tandem? Does anyone think it's good enough to win a Cup with? That's pretty much the rest of our time with McDavid and Draisaitl, and we've gone from three years committed to a Smith/Koskinen tandem, and then signed up for four years of Skinner/Campbell. Just seems crazy to me that that's the best we can do in our must-win window.

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
