That wouldn't be a surprise. But that is not to say there isn't merit in simply playing hard and being competitive regardless who the opponent is. Also, there is a large contingent of young players on this roster who are being given a lot of playing time that they wouldn't get if they were on a fuller team. This is an opportunity for them to accelerate their development and earn future roster spots. And for a player such as Skinner this is a time for redemption and an opportunity to prove that the dispatched coach who went out of his way to bury him was grossly wrong about him as a player. If Skinner can play at the level when he first joined the team that is like adding a new impacting free agent instead of having a high cost player who faded into oblivion. Quote

The kids are playing some inspired hockey but they need a better goalie behind them to give them a real chance at some wins. They might squeak one or two out with Tokarski but it's going to take a Herculean effort from everyone involved. 1 Quote

Mustache of God Posted April 15, 2021 Report Posted April 15, 2021 Tokarski/Houser is the 1A/1B goalie tandem I've been dreaming for my entire life. 1 4 Quote

League minimum is $775k. They could have LTIR’d Eichel or McCabe but whatever at this point. 1 Quote

Well I doubt anyone could of predicted how unlucky we have been with goalie health this year. Not to mention we really shouldn't be in the market for another random goalie; if he could of got one of the two CBJ goalies its a different story. If he must just sign some random goalie out there to a contract. 1 Quote

Zamboni Posted April 15, 2021 Report Posted April 15, 2021 Going pessimistic here ... Caps ... 4 Sabres ... 3 Reinhart, Skinner or Bryson with a goal Quote

He looks better to me. A little too much moving and flopping but better reactions than Hutts. Quote
