100%… the team does not have the tools to enable Skinner to succeed. Dubnyk was pretty much the same mold as Skinner. He’ll probably find better success on another team that will actually identify his weaknesses and either improve those or give him better strategies to offset them.
I really wish the Oilers were a proper meritocracy and actually changed out departments that have shown substandard performance over a long period of time we more than enough data to say it’s is substandard.

Dubs succeeded moving to a team that focused heavily on limiting high quality chances. He remained very bad at high danger save%, which probably put a permanent ceiling on how much he could succeed in playoffs, unless he ended up on an all-star quality team. But great regular season goalie behind the right system.
Skinner is another guy that is pretty bad at saving high danger chances, but above average at low/medium quality. This is something we should have recognized long ago as we all watched him look like he got stuck in mud after initial saves, and had extreme difficulty finding pucks in chaos and scrambles. We did still almost win a cup in spite of him with generational performances from a couple players and the best PK ever. Still lost though.
Coaching goalies to be better at saves requiring fast reaction and anticipation, and having the energy and willpower to never quit on plays and be athletic recovering and scrambling. That's like trying to teach a 3rd liner to be McDavid IMO, or a Darnell Nurse to be a Jacob Slavin, actually being able to anticipate plays and always be ahead of them. By the time you hit this level and are established, for the most part, you got it or you don't. The technical and fundamental stuff to be better at medium/low danger saves and puck tracking before first shots are taken, probably much easier.
