Hey there! I just read that article about the Oilers and Stuart Skinner, and I have to say, I completely agree with the points made. Trading Skinner right now would be a huge mistake for the Oilers.
First off, his cap hit is incredibly manageable, especially in a salary cap world where every dollar counts. At $2.6 million, he's a solid option for a team that needs to be strategic with its finances, especially with big contracts looming for players like Draisaitl.
Also, let's not forget that Skinner has shown he can bounce back from a rough start. His performance during that historic winning streak last season was nothing short of phenomenal. Goalies can be inconsistent, and the risk of trading for someone who might not perform as well is just too high.
The Oilers have bigger fish to fry, like shoring up their defense. They need to focus on acquiring a top-four defenseman rather than shaking up their goaltending situation. Skinner is a competent netminder, and losing him would only create more problems.
What do you think? Do you see the Oilers making a move for a goalie, or do you think they should stick with Skinner and address other needs first?
