The Edmonton Oilers have to be careful that they don’t Devan Dubnyk Stuart Skinner
Zach Laing of Oilers Nation: Bob Stauffer said that the Edmonton Oilers can’t make the identical mistake with goalender Stuart Skinner as they did with goaltender Devan Dubnyk, and moving on from him too quickly.
“I don’t need to see Edmonton make the identical mistake that they made with Dubnyk,” Stauffer said during an appearance on the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast. “I believe you bought to offer Skinner a likelihood. He’s 26. He was never purported to be the starting goal for a playoff run two years ago. Jack Campbell was purported to be the order’s primary goalie at the beginning of the 12 months.
He’s got to proceed to work on his glove. He’s got to proceed to work on his puck handling… He’s lighter, he’s quicker, he has a brand new goalie coach, he has a brand new voice. Let’s see what happens here.”

Skinner must have some leeway this season, but when there isn’t success, then it may be time for a unique direction, in response to Stauffer. If things go well, perhaps he gets a long-term extension.
