6 Cups

HOW DO YOU KNOW HE ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH!

You are literally basing it off 12 games. You are deciding a rookie goalie won't be good enough to win next season and beyond based on 12 games in his first playoff. If you don't think that's based on such a small sample size and completely irrational then, I think you are clueless. I am not trying to insult you but to make that leap off of 12 game is ridiculous.

The JP comparison I made isn't stupid because it's based on that fact of how often many people in here continually wanted to give the guy more time. The guy played parts of 6 seasons with the Oilers and maybe if you squint, you might get a season and a half worth of somewhat productive hockey out of almost 6 seasons of hockey. Year after year people said wait, just wait and made excuse after excuse of why he was lousy yet Skinner gets 12 games and he's done. Utterly hypocritical and ridiculous in my opinion.

I don't know he's not good enough. Same as you don't know that he is good enough to win a cup over the next 2 years. We're not talking about knowing the future. We're talking about whether or not scenarios exist that are more likely to give the Oilers better goaltending. It's absolutely absurd to stomp your feet and refuse to even consider the possibility other options exist ESPECIALLY three weeks after the Oilers were beaten clean by Adin freaking Hill. Adin Hill would have been a better choice than either Skinner or Campbell.

And no, I'm not basing this off of 12 games. I thought he was hopelessly outclassed in his one bubble year start against a really bad team. I thought he was the lazy choice for backup of last resort after Holland checked the goaltending box after signing Campbell. I thought the Oilers made a ridiculous decision to sign him for 3 years after what? 37 mostly good games? I also think the Oilers' season was saved by Skinner last year, but that doesn't mean he's the best bet (or even a good bet) for the next three years.

At an absolute minimum the Oilers need to acknowledge they have goaltending questions going into next season and mitigate the risk. I don't know who this off season's Adin Hill is but I'd certainly at least consider Conner Ingram, Joey Daccord, and Jonas Korpasalo. Hell, Tristan Jarry is a UFA right now. Why not call his agent? Maybe Minnesota can't afford Gustavsson and he could be got on the cheap. You don't know if you simply decide in June that the goaltending duo that wasn't good enough last year will somehow magically be good enough next year. The Knights have five goalies most people consider NHL quality under contract (the real answer is 4, Quick is done) plus a good rookie with potential.

At least take a look.

The JP comparison is idiotic. It's a flawed argument.
