NHL Surprise Moves: Could Stuart Skinner and Dougie Hamilton Be the Game-Changers This Season?
Stuart Skinner could be looking at at least $6 million on a new deal
Kurt Leavins of the Edmonton Journal: It’s getting close to PTO watching time and the Edmonton Oilers could look at adding some. Could the Oilers look at wingers with some grit – Brett Leason or Klim Kostin? What about a left-handed defenseman like Jon Merrill?
Stuart Skinner has been an excellent value for the Oilers at $2.6 million. He’s going to a be UFA after next season, and the Oilers will have to make a decision.
A blueprint for Skinner will be Lukas Dostal‘s new contract with the Anaheim Ducks – five years at a $6.25 million cap hit. The 25-year-old Dostal has 50 NHL regular-season games in the past two years, a 3.22 GAA, and .903 save percentage. Skinner has 38 playoff games in the past two years and has averaged 55 regular season games with a 2.90 GAA and .893 SV%.
