The problem isn't Skinner. The problem is the team in front of him.
Just like Ullmark isn't the problem in Ottawa. It's the team in front of him. There's a reason why some goalies look great behind good teams and crappy when they get traded to a bad team.
When you have a team that doesn't give up the puck in the slot, your goalie looks good. When you continually turn the puck over in high-danger scoring areas, your goalie is going to suffer. And right now, there's a bunch of Oilers who have no idea how to handle the puck in their own end. It's brutal. Clean up the back-end and Skinner's good enough but he's not a goalie who will steal you too many games.

There is a lot of data this year that says the Oilers are actually a top team in the league at limiting high danger chances.
At some point, the Oilers need to expect more than “good enough” from their personnel from goaltenders to goalie coaches to management. Nobody wins a cup from accepting good enough. Skinner has to make a big save once in a while. And management probably should have seen the available backup role as an opportunity to upgrade the position rather than hand it to Pickard.
Clean house or bust
