No one will convince me otherwise that the people in here or in social media who are advocating to trade Skinner because of 12 games in the playoffs or advocating to get rid of Campbell because of 1 bad season when if you look at his career, he's normally .914 or better, to me is a complete borderline irrational overreaction.

If Campbell doesn't improve then he is no longer an NHL goalie. I find that pretty hard to believe that he can go from being a fairly solid NHL goalie to being done in 1 yr at 31. I also find it even harder to believe that Skinner can go from a looking to be very good young starting goalie to crap in a few weeks of playoff games.

It is what it is in here I guess.

Do you totally discount recent performance when you're trying to create the best team in the NHL the next season? We aren't just some average team that you just hope things work out every year. We have the best player in the NHL and possibly the 2nd best and we continue to misplay our hand. Plus we're on the cusp of those 2 guys having to make their decision to stick around. We need to be dang sure we have our important positions solid next season. It's a huge risk to just hope goaltending will work out, especially with our untouchable regression master coaching our goalies.

These Carter Hart rumors are frightening honestly. A quadruple down on Schwartz by getting his most popular student. God...

I look at the whole season of work of a player, not 12 games.

In 21-22 - Skinner played in 13 games, started 12. He was 6-6 2.62GA, .913% 1 shut out. No one would accuse that Oilers team of being defensive specialists. So not eye popping but pretty decent numbers.

In 22-23 - Skinner played in 50 games, started 48. He was 29-14-5 2.75GA, .914% 1 shut out. Again, no one would accuse the Oilers team of being defensive specialists. Again, not eye popping but pretty decent numbers. He got voted to the all star team and is up for the calder.

The playoffs, he wasn't near as good. But I look at the body of work and for the huge majority of it, he was pretty good. He has 60 regular season starts and for the most part, they are pretty good. The 12 playoffs starts, not so good. Now I have listed many times the pressures of the playoffs can impact even vet guys. In my opinion, that pressure is more on a rookie, then it is even more when you are playing in your home town. Then I think it's even more if you are a rookie goalie, playing in your home town in a hockey insane market. So in my opinion, I think the pressure got to the rookie but he isn't the first rookie not to play well in their first playoffs and he won't be the last.

So then I look at the body of work and I personally see the makings of a good goalie who had a tough 12 games at the worst time. I think the pressures of the playoffs got to him but he will be better for it next season. In all the times he spoke, he seems to be a guy who will take whatever bad happened and use it as fuel to be better. So I think he will be better next year. But, if he isn't better, if he just stays as he is, I still see a solid NHL goalie have can play over 40 starts and give you a chance to win who's signed to a reasonable deal for the next 3 seasons.

So the Oilers could trade Skinner, bring in someone else and maybe that guy is better but he could just as easily not be any better and maybe way worse than what they had, just like Campbell was last year.
