Goalie Hunt: Who Will Sign Stuart Skinner?
19 May
Summary
- Stuart Skinner is a pending UFA for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
- Florida Panthers seek goalie help with two UFAs.
- Ottawa Senators need backup upgrade, Flyers eye Ersson replacement.
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Stuart Skinner is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. As the Penguins focus on developing younger goaltending prospects, Skinner's departure seems likely.
Several NHL teams are reportedly monitoring Skinner's situation. The Florida Panthers, facing potential departures of their own goaltenders, are looking for reinforcements. Skinner's availability could address their needs.
The Ottawa Senators have identified their backup goaltending as a significant weakness this past season. They are expected to seek upgrades, and Skinner could potentially form a strong tandem with Linus Ullmark.
Additionally, the Philadelphia Flyers are considering an upgrade for their backup goaltending role. Skinner could provide the needed improvement over Samuel Ersson, making him a target for the Flyers.
