Yep. It's malpractice that Bowman didn't trade for another goalie.

Yzerman traded for Mrazek and they weren't even a playoff team

And Lyon isn't high end, but at least he's another NHL option, who's just like a 3rd or 4th wheel there after that Mrazek deal.

And none of those options have the crater of a floor that Skinner has.

Like, with how it shook out, they really should have added Lyon, Allen, Soderblom(though he might have been tougher to get), Vladar, Forsberg, etc. should have been added to the group, even as a 3 headed monster, to give them another option.

Hard to think anything other than they didn’t want another option. If there’s another option ( and don’t forget they didn’t think Pickard was an option because he’s a lowly AHL goalie) then that means there is a goaltending controversy when Skinner is struggling. For whatever reason, baffling as it is for anybody outside their group to understand, this organization has decided Skinner is their goalie and they’re comfortable sinking or swimming with whatever happens when he’s in the net.
