Watching him in his one game last year trying desperately to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, I really doubt Stuart Skinner is the answer.
That said, we know from past experience that when over-played, Koskinen's performance can see a sharp decline. If Smith is still hurt, then at some point Koskinen needs a rest.

No, probably not. But nobody guessed Binnington would do what he did as a 25 year old. Or any other unheralded goalie who became a solid starter. He had a bad game in his one outing - 1) you don't think he had nerves that game? 2) Do you know any goalies who have never had bad games?
I'm not the chairman of the Stuart Skinner fanclub, but the guy has increased his save % each of the last 3 years in the AHL (.879, .892, .914). The team has spent some time on him. It would be dumb to not at least see what he can do. Maybe he catches lightning in a bottle. More likely he is uninspiring and confirms we need to go out and upgrade, but you can't toss him to the curb based on not having a stellar performance in his first ever outing.

This is true. He could yet improve. I'm not hopeful for him, but I've been wrong before.
For what it's worth, I agree we need to play him. Koskinen will need a rest soon.
