Why Flyers should trade for Stuart Skinner

The most obvious statement you can make about the Philadelphia Flyers this summer is that they need to address their goaltending. And their answer might be currently riding the bench in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Stuart Skinner may be one of the most maligned goaltenders left in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He started the 2023-24 season in the proverbial toilet, playing so poorly that it forced the Edmonton Oilers to fire head coach Jay Woodcroft and replaced him with Kris Knoblauch. All of a sudden, Skinner started making saves, and the Oilers went on a heater the rest of the season and made a run to the Stanley Cup Final, where they lost to the Florida Panthers.
