Skinner is not great by any means but as has been pointed out countless times he was far from the oilers problem. I think Jarry will get exposed and will go the way of Campbell by this time next year. That contract seriously handcuffs the oilers as well. Love to see it.

Yeah, I don't think there is a huge measurable difference between Skinner and Jarry. Both goalies are the type that for the most part reflect how good the team in front of them is. I guess that describes a lot of goalies around the league, but there are few games where anyone can say Skinner stood on his head and lost despite how good he played. There are lots of times where you couldn't specially blame him for the loss because the whole team was bad, but that's not quite the same.
Jarry has stood on his head at times, but not a lot recently and both goalies are subject to gratuitous errors and juicy rebounds. Even if Jarry "can" do it occasionally, if your team is relying on that, it's a problem.
