So crazy how goalies can turn from great to bad so quickly... Matt Murray, then Binnington, then Jarry, and now Skinner (also Raycroft if you back far enough in the day).
Hopefully he corrects his trajectory soon.
Add Ullmark and Swayman to that list more recently.
The handling of the extensions for both these players was terrible by both teams respectively. The Bruins for not signing Swayman before they dealt Ullmark, and the Senators for eagerly extending Ullmark to a crippling deal prior to him playing a minute for them.
Knowing that signing a goalie to a gigantic deal prior to playing for your team is a bad idea should be a prerequisite for any GM, and a thing that all of them should know not to do. Knew the Ullmark one would be an issue the second it was signed. You don't just go from Boston to Ottawa and play the same in net.
As an aside - I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry when we played the Senators and Jack goes "the fans here are not happy at all and are livid with how Ullmark has played, but you look at his numbers and they're quite a bit better than Stuart Skinners." As if Skinner was legit, and their concerns about Ullmark absurd because he was playing ahead of such a star in the other net. Again, I don't know what it is about Stuart Skinner that has all these morons fooled, but it's a thing.
