Well Crosby's Pros: 3 Cups Won Heavily Reliant On Goaltending

McDavid's Pros: Only 2.6 million spent so the money could be spent on Arvidsson's Kailer Yamamoto production.
 

Career: .906

Chased out of town for not being good enough.
There is a recency bias to talent evaluation and with goaltending you are measured against your peers.

So Koskinen's last 2 seasons being: 2020-21 & 2021-22 (which were weaker than the prior 2)

Where he posted a 0.899 and a 0.903 respectively. The league average save percentage for those years was 0.908 & 0.907 respectively. So across those 2 seasons he was cumulatively 0.013 below league average.

Skinner was conversely 0.002 above league average last season and 0.002 below average this season, so he is perfectly average when you put his 2 most recent seasons together.

Skinner doesn't seem like he's good enough to help us win a Cup at the moment, but unlike Koskinen I don't think Skinner's NHL career would end if we decided not to re-sign him.

They also both played/play on very different teams.

They are comparable goalies.
