Canada's top goaltender? He's closer to the Edmonton Oilers line-up than you think
Canada's goalie pool is currently lacking in star talent, as the top goalies in the world are from Sweden, Russia, and the USA.
However, when Team Canada assembles a team for the Olympics or other major tournaments, they should consider adding Skinner to their roster.
This is because Skinner has proven himself to be a standout player in the NHL this season, leading all Canadian goalies in multiple categories.
For example, he finished 15th in games played, 16th for save percentage, and 12th for goals against to expected goals against differential.
Although Skinner has only played for Team Canada in junior leagues, such as U17 and U18 teams, he has the potential to be a solid goalie for the national team.
Therefore, Team Canada should consider giving him a chance to represent his country in the upcoming Olympics if they want a reliable goalie.
