IMO Skinner is not as bad as some people make him out to be however he is not an elite goalie by any means. Pickcard although he may seem a better option at this time is also not the answer. The Oil have neglected this key position for far too long.

I want to be on your side, but I am curious to hear about what you see as a positive in his game right now?
My untrained, armchair goalie observations are:
1. Too deep in his net.
2. Struggles to track the puck in traffic.
3. Fails to anticipate plays.
4. Lateral movement is below average, and is being exaggerated because of point #3.
5. He has the body language of ex-Oilers Campbell, Koskinen, Dubnyk and Talbot.
I thought he had a chance to be an elite goaltender when he first entered the league when he looked so big in the net, challenged shooters and seemed to track the puck like a hawk. I just do not see it anymore, and even when he is playing well he is just a bit above average. I hate being a Debbie Downer.
