Because he not good.

He's not better than our #9 in the depth charts?

Not with an $3.75m cap hit, he’s not. If you’re picking him up, you need him to be able to crack a healthy lineup.

That can all be mostly true, but I can't see how Skinner is equal to Jarry looking at current sv%. I still wonder if they're capitulating.

Jarry has been hot and cold for years now, just as likely he’ll fall off this season as there is that Skinner will pick it up. Pittsburgh also had three young goalies who will need to get some NHL opportunity soon, and Skinner’s deal comes off the books at the end of the season.

Feel like it’s a decent trade that helps them look towards the future while also getting a goalie with some history of solid play for the rest of this season.
