His whopping 14 career playoff games?
Even using Dom's flawed logic, Campbell may be better than Koskinen for 50 games, but is Skinner going to be as good as Smiths 0.915 for the other 30.
Reasonable logic suggests their goaltending may be about the same, with a greater likelihood it is worse, not better. In Campbell's career he has only started more than 22 games twice.

Feels eerily similar to the Koskinen signing when it was made.
Smallish sample size they liked, threw term and dough at the guy and proclaimed they were set in net for the future.
Interesting how that turned out.
