I’d start Campbell tonight if I’m the coach simply because I’m not at the point where I trust a rookie to start every game for the rest of the season. With little danger of missing the playoffs I want to show jack he’s still valuable to the team and keep skinner fresh for the long term.


He's started 2 straight games, not 10. Idiot coach or idiot management can't accept they made a mistake with that signing. Will make games harder to win just to try to justify it.


You can't play Skinner in all the games the rest of the way. We need to keep him somewhat fresh for playoffs.

If you look at almost all the good teams this year, they are splitting starts. Starter might get 60% of them at most. Ullmark's been great but he's played in 39 games to Swayman's 27. And Skinner's got 38 starts already. His biggest pro workload ever was last year when he played in 53 games including playoffs. I do think that you have to be conscious of that.

If they can't rely on Campbell, then you have to call up #3 and replace him, but that's an extreme move at this point, so instead I think you have to give him some more games right until the playoffs - at which point the net is all Skinner's.
