2026 Fantasy Outlook
Skinner didn't impress in Edmonton, and he got a little worse after a December trade to Pittsburgh. The 27-year-old netminder went 23-17-9 with a 2.92 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 50 regular-season contests between the two teams. That's not a great way to go into free agency. Skinner's reputation as a winner in the playoffs will help him find work, but fantasy managers can't expect him to consistently post good ratios. He could be a starter if he lands on a team that needs goalie help, but he may be better served in a timeshare role that limits him to 40-45 starts in 2026-27. He should still be able to push for 20-25 wins depending on the team around him, but you'll need your other fantasy goalies to offset his poor save percentage, making him a low-end No. 2 option or standard No. 3 in most formats.

Signed a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the Jets in July of 2026.
Heading north
Skinner signed a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the Jets on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
ANALYSIS
Skinner had a 23-17-9 record, 2.92 GAA and .888 save percentage in 50 regular-season outings between Edmonton and Pittsburgh in 2025-26. It was his second straight regular season with a save percentage below .900. For now, Skinner projects to be Winnipeg's No. 2 netminder behind Connor Hellebuyck. However, if Hellebuyck gets traded this summer, Skinner would probably begin 2026-27 as Winnipeg's starting goaltender.

2022
Skinner had his worst season as a No. 1 goalie in 2024-25, posting a 26-18-4 record with a 2.81 GAA and a .896 save percentage over 51 regular-season outings. He had some injuries late in the campaign, and while he opened the postseason as the Oilers' top goalie, he yielded those duties to Calvin Pickard after two games, temporarily took it back, then was replaced again during the Stanley Cup Finals. Skinner's $2.6 million cap hit is manageable -- it's not enough to guarantee him a hearty share of playing time if his performance doesn't match. Both Skinner and Pickard are under contract for 2025-26, but with the cap rising, the Oilers may consider an upgrade in goal before next season. Skinner's been fine most of the time, but his playoff struggles cast some doubt on his long-term outlook with the team.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could land in Ottawa?
Skinner has been linked to signing with the Senators, per Kevin Weekes of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
After an up-and-down season between the Oilers and Penguins, Skinner is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Reports near the start of June indicated that Sergei Murashov will probably win a roster spot in Pittsburgh, making the Penguins unlikely to re-sign Skinner. Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark has never played in more than 49 games in a single regular season, so Ottawa will likely have interest in a netminder who can take more of the workload than your typical understudy and even slot into the No. 1 spot if needed. Skinner certainly fits that bill after logging at least 50 regular-season outings in each of his past four campaigns in addition to his 53 total playoff starts across that same span.
